about
Introduced via their record label, Audio Savant, in 2005, Robert Osgood and Marius Sjøli quickly realized their shared musical vision. A short while later they began collaborating on Robert’s recently minted project, Hollow Branches. In 2009, with the assistance of Jason Walton (Agalloch) on bass, Hollow Branches released the “Words are Fire” and “Anchored in Sleep” EPs, with a short 10 month gap between releases. Both self-released EPs were downloaded hundreds of times and received favorable reviews in publications such as Scratch the Surface, The Dreaded Press, and Absolute Zero.
Writing for their first full length album, “Okanagana Waves”, began immediately following completion of “Anchored in Sleep,” with primary recording wrapping in July 2010 when Robert travelled to Norway to track vocals and guitar at Sjøli Studio. While ten songs were written, only seven made the final cut. The music was kept comparatively sparse, with less overdubs and tracks used than on the two previous EPs. A year passed before bass was finally recorded, with Mathew Kennedy (Phideaux) lending his talents, and bringing an entirely new element to the sound. Featured on the title track, is T.E. Moore, of the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology, who provided a recording of an Okanagana Bella cicada, he made in the field in 1965. The cicada features prominently in the albums audio/visual aesthetic.
Musically, “Okanagana Waves” takes influence from progressive rock, dark ambient, and neo-folk, while exploring themes as diverse as anxiety, skepticism, and the indifferent beauty of nature.
