Wild Sleep (Album) 2023

“Here is Wild Sleep, the latest album by Hannah S. aka Omen. The Australian producer and DJ living in Berlin is back on Kashual Plastik. Today with more than a haunting tune for an erratic compilation. She comes with a full album. Touching base in manyfold stylistic subdivisions – field recordings, pop miniatures, drone zones, Hauntology visions, drifting journey music, primitive folk, sound collages, and dragging industrial, turning in deep relation with Omen’s self-reflection and fiction, sleeping wild in the big city sky.”

Cyborg Barbie 2023

On a scarcely inhabited planet earth, between floods and droughts, a machine programmed to manufacture plastic buckets for collecting rain water, is unable to stop. The surviving humans long to be more like their robot peers, who unlike them cannot grieve for the end of life itself. The mysterious self-replenishing ability of ecosystems become mythological. Every last human struggle has long since been commodified by the ghost of capitalism. One can only try to find solace in the redemptive force of love or the hope of being rescued by benevolent aliens.

Cyborg Barbie takes form as four songs released on an edition of forty recycled cassettes and deals playfully with an imagined post apocalyptic future. In these eerie art brut pop songs Omen combines modular synthesis, samples, field recordings and her voice to deliver dystopian dream-like musings carried by minimal beats.

Prol (Album) 2019

“Intermittently written and recorded between 2015 and 2019 across Berlin, Australia & Peru, Prol transmits a sharply delivered sense of fracture and disorientation that is at once caustic, languorous and euphoric. Electronics trail off down perverse paths, snarling dissonances and scorching in-the-red tremors of low end burst at the seams, vocals are caught between sour, satirical disaffection and astute, fervent appreciation. The results are myriad, disorderly, not easily contained, a case of cutting across different extremes yet somehow remaining a united conception even amidst severe contrasts.” – The Ransom Note.
