Onat Onol - Left Standing Here

Read full review & listen on Grotesqualizer.

If you’re tired of robotic and stamped music, a great solution will be plunging into the ocean of Onat Onol’s experiment in his new album “Everyone Asked About You.”

A song from the album called “Left Standing Here” is an example of an amazing and odd sense of beauty expressed in some kind of outsider dream pop form. Precise rhythm section frames free and elastic guitar melodies, while sincere lyrics, the truthful voice, and the wistful mood of the song create almost theatrical atmosphere. At 4:43, you can observe how something magical develops and opens the gates to the wondrous world that can foreshadow anything. The track “Left Standing Here” sounds as if a DSBM musician threw out all his equipment and decided to start again in a completely different genre.
