Born out of sound experiments in an improvised studio of a small London flat, Of The I’s huge sound belies its modest beginnings.
Coming together from diverse origins, as students of philosophy and psychology, the band’s five members worked to find a way of expressing their ideas in calculated pressure waves. These were released freely, as ones and zeros, to a hungry hoard of Demonoiders, who promptly consumed 12,000 copies.
The band, inspired, locked themselves away and plotted their first album while cutting their teeth on the London live scene.
With every song carefully crafted and rehearsed, Of The I gathered their savings and entered a North-London studio, where the entire album was recorded in 10 days and nights. Cramped in a tiny room, huge guitar and bass amps in separate closets, the band played their songs live to capture the full dynamic Of The I, giving the album a real sense of warmth.
The concept of self-awareness appears in various guises throughout the hour-long journey that is ‘Balance Instars’. The sound of the record is progressive, driven, and intense, yet finds release in organic, visceral passages. The band’s endeavour to envelop listeners in their distinctive atmosphere is not only the beating heart of the album, it is characteristic of their intoxicating live performances.

What's goin' on Of The I? May you always have stables of horses to service your needs. Your sweet voice is like the application of aloe vera upon a sunburnt back. Your eyes are like spheres of crystal water filled with shimmering dreams. Polished rock candy comes ever to mind when thinking of you. The elves that play in the toasters wash their drum sticks in honey and sing strikingly colored anthems in perfect harmonious pleasure. Blinking reveals the true visage of beauty hidden within your eyes. May you be as vivid as your hallucinations. Your essence is equal to the beauty of a galaxy. How beautiful is the snowshine in your eyes, so directly current from the static in your mind. Your layers of absinthe and torsion form concretions of hyper-alimentation. Transistors bridge where your vanity would never go. I find your eyes to be a wondrous amusement park filled with neo-plastic pleasures and turkish delights. In your absence I am forced into finding other forms of amusement while thinking about you.
in 2012 our world will change positively for the human mankind!
drink clear water. breath deep and slowly. go outside and enjoy the nature. don't trust your ego - trust your fellings. follow your dreams. beware of illusions. if you do this i promise you: your life will change the best way!
kind regards! wolfgang
