Chime Oblivion Chime Oblivion (John Dwyer)

CHIME OBLIVION began out of the blue.
David Barbarossa reached out to John Dwyer saying he was a fan of OSEES and he was invited to a show in London.
The two hung out and hit it off, "then I rabbit holed on Bow wow wow too…," Dwyer recalls.
"I reached out to David and suggested that we try and write some songs together... I flew David out, we met at my studio and spent five days writing basin drums ideas." The two got to know each other and had a lot of laughs.
Dwyer then brought in Weasel Walter, knowing that he would be perfect "to add all that legitimate old-school weird proto-punk no wave guitar scratch to it, which of course he did masterfully."
Next came Tom Dolas to play fuzzy marimba, and the fabulous H.L. Nelly, "as I knew her from a record I’d put out back in the day for a band called Naked Lights from Oakland. I knew that she could pull off the vocal style I had in mind."
Together, the group created their debut self-titled album, due for release via Deathgod.
CHIME OBLIVION will be released as a 45 rpm 12" vinyl, CD & on digital.
"For fans of Adam & the Ants, Bow Wow Wow, Crass, The Slits, and any other wierdo punk we fell in love with as youths."
