Haunting Oboe Music of Austin TX Author: Samantha Newton
Honestly, when I see something described as screamo or even electro, I get a little scared. And I was nervous at first that Haunting Oboe Music would be too much for me. Would the nightmares that fuel their sound haunt me too? But, listening to them was quite the experience of intrigue and horror. Not in the negative sense of the word anyway - but if the word ‘horror’ had any positive adjectives, I would use them to describe the sounds of HOM. Dark. Deep. Largely instrumental; requiring only short oxygen searing lyrics every now and then to get the message across. Their music is mellow in some respect but also so loud, aching to be heard, and unbelievably entertaining live.
