about

Ohara composed and recorded all the songs herself in addition to creating all the soon-to-be-revealed accompanying album artwork. She embraced the random on Ringing In Our Wrists, treating her audio material as pure sound rather than attempting to compose logical songs. Using the visual cue of the waveform as it appeared on her computer screen, Ohara rearranged the tracks to create visual tableaux that mirrored the imaginary artworks in her head. As such, all the sounds are created by accident, not written as music but created as an art work. Using a combination of field recordings and synthesizer generated noises Ohara's freshman album merges the painter's eye with the musician's ear, taking the listener on an inward journey to a place where those two synaptic impulses merge into one.

The New York Times has praised her band's "nightmarish, rubato art-songs,"and the Village Voice lauded "the ashen throat of singer Yoshiko Ohara, whose dynamic range covers the ground between Diamanda and PJ Harvey in drones, squeals, and screeches." Decibel Magazine hailed her as the driving force behind the band;s "haunting, evil, beautiful music," CMJ wrote of how "Yoshiko Ohara wails and howls as though she's in a perpetual state of mourning, and it's the perfect complement to the doom and gloom riffs,” and MTV applauded their "“dense, despairing songs that tumble, clatter and drone through the ether.”
