ONE SENTENCE. SUPERVISOR
Formed in Baden (CH) in 2012, One Sentence. Supervisor recall the phantoms of the eighties with their catchy, misty krautpop, unencumbered by too many references. A universe that is hard to categorize, in which omnipresent synthetic sounds meet tense repetitive rhythms without ever becoming tedious.
As for their obsessive melodies playing between shadow and light, they are tinged with psychedelic colours that unfold like some celestial stairway towards the imaginary. Well-known in their native switzerland, Oss are starting to spread their wings further afield, performing at Sziget Festival in Hungary and a trip to the far East to perform at China drifting festival Shanghai & Peking. In fall 2016 they released their second record «temporär musik 1-13» through Swiss label oh, sister! Records. It was awarded «the indiesuisse album of the year 2016» and it’s nominated for the «impala european album of the year».
