For her second album ‘AI les Axes’, Parisian visual artist & composer Aude Van Wyller aka Oï les Ox (The Death of Rave, Primordial Void, Kraak) returns with a labyrinthine suite of gnarled, spiralling electronics and oblique song forms. Boomkat desribed her first album Crooner qui coule sous les clous as ‘easily one of the most ambitious, layered and rewarding avant-pop albums we have heard in an age’ and Gorilla vs Bear ‘ an eerily beautiful and ethereal avant-pop gem’
Building on thw work of the first album and engaging with themes of technological malfunction and identity loss, ‘AI les Axes’ emerges as a captivating fever dream of otherworldly dysfunction.Oï les Ox incorporates a dismantled dialogue in her native French that resembles AI-generated vocabulary and syntax, forming an opus of dislocation that arguably carries a greater sense of lyricism and intimacy than her acclaimed debut album.
