Conceived on NSW’s South Coast in 2006, and now buried alive in Melbourne’s North, Obscura Hail is a testament to the indie dream; writing, recording and releasing self contained albums from an ad-hoc bedroom studio. Sparked by an irrational fear of memory loss via mercury poisoning from an amalgam tooth filling, Obscura Hail embodies a routine of unpacking personal, nostalgic, and ontological thoughts with great urgency during the witching hours. His decade strong, extensive backlog of alternating styles show a love for new avenues for expression, keeping the motifs of galloping finger work, and a politely quiet vocal delivery, made audible with dense harmonic layering. Sean and his summoned folk are sneaking into Melbourne’s intimate spaces to fill strangers with relative truths via rich live experiences that reflects the evolving arrangements, in the wake of his latest stylistic
deviation ‘PIZZA’.
