Romanian prog rockers ohhimark released their debut album

Born in 2017, in Bucharest, the capital of Romania, ohhimark (stylized with a minuscule and pronounced “Oh, hi Mark!”) is a French-Romanian band with influences drawn from progressive rock, alternative metal, post-rock and even shoegaze.

The band took almost four years of creative struggle to be able to release their debut album, including several line-up changes, various recordings in two different studios, even the very existence of the band was in question after the premature disappearance of their former bass-player in March 2020.

After the album was finally mixed and mastered by one of the most renown Romanian music producers, Marius Costache, in Studio 148, the 8 tracks material, with a total length of around 45 minutes, was offered to the public in spring 2021, in digital format via Bandcamp and several other online music platforms, previewed by the release of a video for the song ‘Paragon’. You can check out the video below:

Called ‘What We Can`t See’ the album is subtly referring to inattentional blindness (also called perceptual blindness), the action of seeing without observing, while being music-wise heavily influenced by the new Alt-Prog wave as Karnivool, Vola, Agent Fresco or Tesseract.
‘What We Can’t See’ was also released in physical format, in September 2021, a beautiful 6-panel digipack, as a boutique edition limited to 100 units only, that can be purchased contacting the band directly or through their Bandcamp profile.
