You may remember Toronto based Hibernate from trance hits such as Tranz-Canada, Advent and Mane Sonitus. After laying low in the studio for two full years, Hibernate's first major album release, 'OCD' is complete. Its being released on July 13th on Radikal Records. To hear samples from the new album go to www.hibernate.net/music.htm

The first single 'Submit' has been gaining momentum with support from DJs such as Victor Calderone and Superchumbo. OCD showcases elements of popular genres such as trance, breakbeat, house and retro, but without ever falling subservient to them.

These familiar or 'trademark' sounds are sometimes used as a foundation onto which timeless, melodic songs are written. The songs of "OCD" are deeply electronic, yet wonderfully musical and organic. Most of them would transfer smoothly into any style of acoustic or guitar based music - the mark of quality song writing. Vocally, Hibernate is a complete departure from most electronic music, having more in common with 80s pop or even 60s psychedelia.

Reviews:

Meshing traditional pop songwriting and modern beat-making, Hibernate builds moody songs with a backbeat. While harking back to the best of '80s new wave, this music keep its leading edge in this century.

I quite like the mood and atmosphere that this song evokes... it would make a superb front end track for any one of a host of movies but it's quite capable of holding out on it's own... truly great tune!
