about

It has been 4 years since we released the first album 'Slowly Better' by Oversleep Excuse, a Tokyo-based alternative rock band made up of American, British, and Japanese musicians. This album featuring a steel-pan, a musical instrument originating from Trinidad, received many fans from avant-pop, electronica, and post-rock music scene such as The Album Leaf, Mice Parade, Radiohead, Sigur Rós, múm, The Appleseed Cast, and The Velvet Teen. Now, we are proud to release their second album 'Universe' on 7th June, 2018.

After headlining two music festivals, BAY BEATS in Singapore and Spring Scream in Taiwan, they created a new sound. Following the first album, this upcoming second album is filled with a sinking feeling such as electronica and post-rock music in North America and Europe, but also includes their own signature sound by using steel-pan, karimba, piano, and the gentle and languorous voice of the vocalist, Matthew. You will feel like you are walking on air once you hear their refreshing, bittersweet, and slightly twisted, pop music.

With this release, you can also get a post card designed by Russell Reed and Ricco Label's music catalog CD; All of which are also part of the CD package deals only available on the Ricco Label website.

When seeking truly quiet, peaceful music, most of what I hear I leave, not sensing internal depth below the sound. This is different. In a moment when subtle stimulation (a bit paradoxically) is sought as a means to deeper tranquility, this excels beautifully. For others who might have connected with Stray Ghost or Silver Mount Zion or Taphephobia, yet whose minds can dwell in greater and healthier lucid calm, this is remarkable. L

Warm and evocative, brimming with memory and emotion. Each track is beautifully layered and floats like a soft, warm breeze. It helped me navigate a challenging end of year into 2024! Thank you! PadraigC
