CLASH MAGAZINE / OCT '14 Prog is a dirty word. But then, shouldn't all rock music be progressive? Who in their right mind would willingly make something which didn't break new ground, which didn't attempt something different? Edinburgh trio North Atlantic Oscillation don't hide away from their prog roots. Yet this isn't to peg the band as some bunch of Yes devotees - rather, the three piece focus on what could be achieved with bass, drums, guitar and a hefty dose of electronics. New album 'The Third Day' is a startling return. Packed to the gunnels with fresh ideas, North Atlantic Oscillation maintain a molten, fluid sense of what it means to be a rock band. Designed explicitly as an album, each track on 'The Third Day' segues immaculately into the next, with the band aiming to produce something with absolutely no dead space. As a result, each daring new diversion piles onto one another, with the overall effect being quite shattering.

North Atlantic Oscillation return in 2015 with their new EP ‘Glare’, following on from their 2014 album ‘The Third Day’. The EP includes the previously unreleased track ‘Glare’ from ‘The Third Day’ recording sessions, a very special Steven Wilson remix of ‘Wires’, a Leonard Cohen cover of ‘Sisters of Mercy’ and an alternative mix of ‘Penrose’. The band will commence on a mini tour of the UK in March, with dates in London & Manchester. Kscope will also be releasing a brand new digital only ‘Deluxe’ version of last year’s ‘The Third Day’ which will include the ‘Glare’ EP.
