    Hello.

    This Bandcamp Friday, April 7th, 2023, O.P.A.L. releases the long-awaited “Flotation Device” CD. The CD contains tracks from “Night On Earth”, “Gravedad Cero”, and the “Ad Astra” EPs, and 5 additional tracks. It is available at descojonurbano.bandcamp.com/merch and shipped worldwide.

    This is the first of three CDs I will release this year. Subscribers get all our official discography, as well as special and unreleased tracks. As of today, we have four EPs of unreleased material, with more coming in the next few months. I know your time and money are valuable, but consider a subscription if your budget allows it. It supports independent art and music.

    I look forward to you enjoying our releases and playing them loud. If you have any questions, feel free to comment and reach out.

    Regards,

  • 2022-2024 O.P.A.L. Releases, Habemus CD’s.

    Hi. Been a long time since I updated this. O.P.A.L. has very much taken over my musical endeavors. I have enough material for a Descojón Urbanjo release, but at the moment I think DU has served its purpose. Maybe it’s time for another DU nap. I added several new O.P.A.L. releases that should/will appear on the music page. They are available on Bandcamp, Spotify, and other streaming services. As of this writing, they are:

    2022

    Other Voices Redux CD (Other Voices + Mother, Maiden, Crone EP)

    Last Call For Lost Souls

    Cold (single)

    Carolina EP

    Snowstorm (single)

    Last Call For Lost Souls + Carolina EP + Cold (single) CD

    2023

    Night On Earth EP

    Gravedad Cero EP

    Ad Astra EP

    Flotation Device CD (the EP’s above plus 5 bonus tracks). Out April 7th, 2023.

    We have 6 more EPs ready for release digitally in the coming months of 2023.

    2024

    We started work on material for 2024 and as of this writing have enough material for an EP, but we are adding more. Our release plan is the same as 2023’s: 9 EPs and 3 CDs for O.P.A.L.

    We also have CDs available from past Descojón Urbano and O.P.A.L. releases here.

  • A very crappy year brings brand new music.

    I should keep this more updated. However, this crapfest that is the Year of Our Lord 2020 has kept me quite busy. This post hopes to remedy that.

    Well, there’s brand new releases from O.P.A.L. and D35C0JóN UR84N0 to whet your appetite. So click the links and find out what you’ve been missing.

    More soon. Hopefully.
