The current constellation of The Observatory are vibrations of shifting rhythms, synth bass space, oscillators and abused guitars. Repetition is at the heart of their riff. Hammering out a certain truth. Noise, rock, and melancholy. A society in tumult, divided. Where new forms of oppression are actively met with new strategies of resistance. Oscilla is the imagined swing of our imperfect times. The gait of the invisible beast we embody. Flux and formlessness. It represents a new kind of hope. Standing up for the voiceless, powerless, the poor. Imagining a braver future against the current reality that has but only a mathematical conscience called the bottom line. This album is about wresting back our now-future. Where we want it to head towards, and at what environmental and moral cost, we should start deciding for ourselves. 

Oscilla is The Observatory's call for radical resistance and a politics of autonomous refusal. It offers a tactical ideal for living, where music is a primal and emotive spirit that brings people together and is capable of highlighting social injustice - areas where contemporary politics has often failed us.
- Mark Wong 

Oscilla finds the Observatory in a more forward-leaning and aggressive mode, after the deep darkness and desolation of their previous album Catacombs. It’s more immediate and their prog rock influences are more apparent. Observatory just turned on the furnace, we will fry, but that’s what we need in 2014. Excellent.
– Lasse Marhaug

Doz Monsantoz wurde 2008 in Hamburg als Impro-Prog-Rock-Duo von langjährigen Mitgliedern der ehem. Czepoks und des Tumorchesters gegründet. Nachdem die ersten Ergüsse plötzlich deutsche Texte bekamen, entstand das erste selbstproduzierte Album "World's Largest Hot Dog". Nach der folgenden dreijährigen Pause beschallen Gunnar Rieckmann (Git, Voc, Samples), der auch bei -Mono Lüüd- aktiv ist und Thomas Pfeuti (Dr, Voc, Samples) jetzt endlich wieder die Bühnen mit Ihrem Prog-Punk-Rock-Oriental-Noise, wo die Gitarre auch mal gerne gegen eine türkische Saz getauscht wird. Trotz kultureller Ursuppe ist Ihre Musik garantiert gentechnisch nicht modifiziert!
