Oscillator Bug

Taking the sounds of indie pop and warping them just to the point where they're still recognizable yet undeniably altered, Oscillator Bug is the twisted pop brainchild of Zaid Maxwell. Breaking down genres like new wave, indie pop, and post-punk and rebuilding them in a way that's broken but functional, the project feels like the synth world's answer to Ween, offering up fractured reflections of familiar genres and sounds that serve as both pastiche and commentary. Oscillator Bug made its debut with Bursts of the Million, released by Dymaxion Groove in 2014. ~ Gregory Heaney
