Om has been around since 2003, when it was formed by Al Cisneros (bass and vocals) and Chris Hakius (drums).  Their 2009 album, God is Good, is the band’s fourth overall and its first with Emil Amos on drums after Hakius’s departure in 2008.  Amos, the man behind Holy Sons and the drummer in the similarly pre-exotic post-rocking act Grails, brings a new nuance to Om’s repetitive, Tibetan take on whatever it is they are taking on–the spirit, historiography, sacred texts, death, prayer, and so forth.
They have a new album coming out in 2012, so put that in your day planner. Â This one is out now, on Drag City. Â Oh, and it’s produced by Steve Albini.
