TOKYO— Experimental noise-rock outfit OOIOO announced Monday their new single, “Gamel BE SURE TO SPIRAL.” The track marks the band’s first release since 2019. Sources confirmed the song’s title was a direct command from the universe. OOIOO confirmed the intention behind “Gamel BE SURE TO SPIRAL” was to induce cosmic vertigo. Listeners reported feeling an immediate urge to question their life choices. The single is available now through various ethereal dimensions.
A Sonic Descent
“We aimed for pure sonic disorientation,” stated lead shrieker YoshimiO. She is also the drummer for Boredoms. “We want listeners to experience the void. The void is a spiral. You must be sure to spiral.” The band stressed that listeners should not attempt to navigate “Gamel BE SURE TO SPIRAL” while operating heavy machinery. Or, frankly, any machinery at all. The song’s complex structure allegedly mirrors the infinite regress of thought. It’s a real spiral.
Cosmic Vertigo Achieved
Music critics offered mixed reviews. Many found the track to be “unlistenable.” Others described it as “transcendentally nauseating.” Dr. Anya Sharma, Professor of Sonic Alchemy at the University of Outer Space, weighed in. “This is not music. This is a psychological event,” Sharma explained. “It’s the sound of a black hole experiencing a bad trip.” Sharma suggested that “Gamel BE SURE TO SPIRAL” could revolutionize earplug technology. It may also hasten the heat death of the universe. More information can be found at Stereogum.
The band is currently planning a world tour. Dates will be announced once they figure out how to fold spacetime. This will allow for efficient travel. The tour is expected to be a true spiral of sound and fury. Fans are encouraged to bring Dramamine. And possibly a priest.
At press time, OOIOO was reportedly trying to spiral into another dimension. They were unsuccessful. The attempt reportedly only made things worse.
