The Shimmer

After two LPs roaming the alternative spectrum, Oscar and the Wolf’s Max Colombie refines his electro-pop vision on third album The Shimmer—available now in Dolby Atmos. “It’s impossible to write the perfect song, but it’s the search that makes it so fulfilling,” he explains. Suspended between fantasy and reality, Colombie threads yearning dream pop and R&B that, for all its sweet escapism, embraces deep-rooted emotions with aching honesty. “It’s a balance between light and dark, this perfect combination between the sun and the moon. It’s beautiful and scary at the same time.”
