I’m coming at you today with something that’s a little out of the box, in the best possible way. Lachlan P. Rother is an artist in the true sense of the word, someone who isn’t afraid to shake things up. He fronted local new-wave act U-Bahn between 2018 and 2020 before moving on to play guitar in post-punk outfit GLASNOST and drums in another post-punk act, High Control Group. But he really pushes the genre boundaries with his solo project Ohms. His latest single under this moniker, “Geworfenheit” drops today, and it’s an absolute trip. Its odd time signatures take a little bit to get used to. Just when you think you’ve settled into the groove, it shifts again. My advice? Just strap yourself in and enjoy the ride!
Lachlan explained that “’Geworfenheit’ draws upon the existentialist philosophy of Heidegger, which deals with the notion that individuals are thrown into their circumstance through birth, unaware, and in no control of their fate – thus, forced to exorcise free will over our choices.”
Ohms is one of those acts that keeps you guessing and does not disappoint. Follow Ohms on Instagram to learn all about this always original music as soon as it’s released.
