Calligram release new song ‘Ostranenie’

CALLIGRAM have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Ostranenie, is taken from the London-based multinational blackened hardcore band’s upcoming new album, Position | Momentum, which is scheduled to be released in July this year.

Speaking about the new song, the band says, “Ostranenie is a word that Russian formalists used for Defamiliarization. This is what life is all about: fighting habits, seeking desire undiluted by habits. Habits ruin everything, they make everything flat and plain. Defamiliarization is the impossible aim to experience everything like it was the first time and it’s the central concepts of art, poetry and of course music.

The purpose of art and music is to impart the sensation of things as they are perceived and not as they are known. The technique of art is to make objects ‘unfamiliar’, to make forms difficult. The function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. Position | Momentum and its celebration of chaos shakes up the ‘familiar scene’ giving a new meaning to it.”

Position | Momentum is set for release on July 14th via Prosthetic Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
