Speaking about the upcoming album, the band says, “we are very excited to present our forthcoming album OU – 蘇醒 II: Frailty, due for an April 26th release via InsideOutMusic. We were honoured to have the privilege on working with the mighty DEVIN TOWNSEND to produce this album in order to further explore and enhance our sound, working to provide a sonic adventure for you all.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; 蘇醒 Frailty.
Speaking about the new song, the band says, “OU is back! Life unfolds, drop by drop, a fleeting thread in the ticking dance of time. A brief bloom, a withered leaf, breathing in the rhythm of day and night. The river of life, a pale countdown, flowing soil beneath the dreamy sky. Pieces fall, growing without words, returning to the dust. The flower of life bears its fruit, lost in the vast expanse. A poignant journey, from bloom to disappearance, echoing the eternal tick tock of existence. The debut offering 蘇醒 Frailty from our new album OU – 蘇醒 II: Frailty has arrived, and we’re excited to share it with you all.”
