Om 's "State Of Non-Return" is a single off of their latest album, Advaitic Songs .  I posted about this song a few months ago , but a video for the track debuted today via Stereogum .    Advaitic Songs was reviewed at No Ripcord. Sincerely, Letters From A Tapehead

OM Advaitic Songs Drag City Released: 7.24.12 No Ripcord review Sincerely, Letters From A Tapehead

Meditative bass metal duo, Om , are releasing their newest album, Advaitic Songs , July 24th on Drag City.  "State Of Non-Return" sees the continued expansion of musical vocabulary that the band expressed on their previous release, 2009's God Is Good , drummer Emil Amos ( Grails ) bringing some of the progressive flare for which he's accustomed to Om's former simplicity.  Singer/bassist Al Cisneros pursues familiarity with his droning vocal, though the expansiveness of previous releases seems missing this time around, percussion strangely reductive, noise levels middled and sort of flat.  I'm enjoying the song itself, but the production seems lacking, which doesn't leave the best impression.  I'll be reviewing Advaitic Songs for No Ripcord at a later date.  In the meantime, give the song a listen. Sincerely, Letters From A Tapehead

So, as if Al Cisneros didn't have enough going on with Sleep 's Dopesmoker reissue , Letters From A Tapehead favorites, Om , will be releasing a new album, Advaitic Songs , in July via Drag City .  A promotional teaser video has posted. I'm going to listen to "At Giza" a million times now.  This news came via Tiny Mix Tapes , who seem to think that Grails drummer Emil Amos is a member of Sleep.  Does anyone know if Amos is filling in on drums for any tour dates, or is this just an error?  Sincerely, Letters From A Tapehead
