Sweden's stalwart, slow burning post-rock outfit OH HIROSHIMA return to champion wonder and awe in an age of faded youth and jaded disenchantment.

`All Things Shining', the band's fifth studio album, sees the project pared down to a brotherly core as they expand ever further into new sonic territories.

Founded over 15 years ago as a DIY post-rock recording project in Kristinehamn, Oh Hiroshima has steadily outgrown its Swedish hometown to become a highly regarded studio and live project within the international post-rock scene.

With four diverse full-length albums to their name encompassing elements of shoegaze, electronica, post-punk and danceable indie-rock, Oh Hiroshima's forthcoming fifth release, `All Things Shining', represents a significant evolution in the band's songwriting and soundcrafting.

A musical reflection on the trajectory of their lives to date, on how our wonder at the world seems so much harder to attain these days, `All Things Shining' is another significant milestone in Oh Hiroshima's journey.

Simultaneously personal and universal, the album serves as a sonic exploration of the duplicitous nature of ageing; the double edged sword of amassing life-affirming experiences that inevitably dim our perception of the world around us.

However, as the title suggests, Oh Hiroshima are adamant that all is not lost; with songs inspired by timeless works of literature pivotal for Jakob and Oskar throughout their lives, `All Things Shining' is a reminder that, against all odds, the world will always find a way to reclaim its spark and mystique.
