CHIME OBLIVION began out of the blue. David Barbarossa reached out to John Dwyer saying he was a fan, and he was quickly invited to an OSEES 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 albumout today 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." CHIME OBLIVION is out today via Deathgod.
