The Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are

by Everything Oscillating

supported by

scottyourmusic From turn-on-a-dime texture changes to slow moody builds all decorated with stunning musicianship, EO brings a fresh take to proggy. You'll hear lots of guitar pyrotechnics and tone wizardry here, but this is a killer power trio ENSEMBLE. Everyone pulls and pushes it.

Dean Alan Swanson Superbly executed, catchy, super fun, wildly interesting prog masterpiece by this PNW virtuoso trio. Highly recommended!!!

kensoko Tight melody driven guitar trio with harmonized lines and interesting shifts in meter. Great tone and playing. Progressive without being stodgy or all over the place. The tunes make sense if that makes sense. Excellent work here!

about

"Highly contagious, eclectic and seriously invigorating I am sure this fantastic debut by Everything Oscillating will claim a place in my 2024 year list and I highly recommend it to fans of Moon Letters and those enjoying adventurously arranged prog fusion with prodigious interplay and astonishing guitar gymnastics." -Jan Buddenberg, DPRP

“They've been playing around Seattle, leaving audiences slack-jawed with their high-energy brand of complex jazz-rock….The album [The Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are] is a blast to hear from start to finish, and balances supreme technique with artistic taste in a way that very few shredders can match.” – Exposé Online

“An opportunity for master instrumentalists to get out from behind a genre and just have fun creating sounds and music without barriers.” – Progressive Rock Central

"EO does a great job threading the needle of balancing flashy instrumental antics and engaging songwriting. The best moments here call to mind classic bombastic ‘90s and early ‘00s prog bands like Liquid Tension Experiment and Transatlantic, ...and the (abbreviated) instrumental cover of “Achilles’ Last Stand” is done well, too ...EO absolutely does it justice." -The Elite Extremophile

The sibling in spirit to Zopp's Dominion, at least from my point of view: It, too, has been on the wishlist far too long and I'm more than glad that I finally bought this. And also a cornucopia of good things prog, past and present! Strictly musically speaking this is a little harder hitting affair than Dominion, though. Carsten Pieper

A simply beautiful release, harkening back to the mid 60s and early 70s. The delicate vocals of Paul Langer, who also plays guitars, bass, and drums and John Allday’s keyboards, trumpet and additional vocals are blended with violin, viola and cello. The music is light as gossamer, with orchestral touches from the strings, and angelic choirs evoking the poetry and vastness of space. Hard to choose a favourite between the first and the epic last tracks, but going with the opener here. Nickie Harte Kelly

Another stellar release from this long-lived ensemble. Though the King Crimson influence is obvious & that comparison unavoidable, these guys have made many great recordings that can't be categorized as 'mere copies'. The perfect balance of aggressive riffing and serene soundscapes. Stephen Roberts
