Oxhy - The Names of God
Oxhy 2025 release, The Names of God, shifts away from the softness of Woodland Dance (2021) and To Keep The Desert Blooming (2024) to explore modern anxiety through chaotic soundscapes. The album blends noise and abstract pop, and punk, while employing a variety of sound design techniques to create a diverse listening experience.
Key highlights include "The Grotesque" and collaborations such as the opener with CRYSTALLMESS and the track "Goth", which showcase dynamic movement despite a grim tone. The album balances darkness with pieces like "Telephone Ring," offering intricate soundplay. Oxhy revives big beat sensibilities infused with punk and noise influences, exemplified in "Critical Threshold" and culminating in the closer "Not God's Gift."
The quality of layering adds depth to the album, exploring themes of chaotic loneliness and the struggles of urban life. The overall narrative presents a bleak yet energetic view of modern emotional states, embodying the resilience of the human spirit amid isolation and disconnection.
