Somewhere by the sea, which spills between me and you, the old factory stands and rusts, as a disgrace, a disgrace to the harmony of sunset and spray and emptiness. Someone painted “Omni Selassi” on the wall of the building before disappearing forevermore and with him the language we spoke. We're left with two words and the drums, the stuff, the cables, the voice - to understand where we actually come from.

The three-piece Omni Selassi was brought together by Rea Dubach in 2019. In a flash of inspiration – for what hardly anyone would have expected at the time: since then, the band from Biel, Bern, and Leipzig with Rea Dubach (voc, git, efx), Mirko Schwab (dr, electroharp, git) and Lukas Rutzen (dr, perc, bass) has been chased from one stage to the next. Rarely does the same thing happen twice: Omni Selassi play on to musical doom. And nothing remains as it was: split and disassembled, symbiotic, androgynous, kaleidoscopically polytoxic. Two drummers meet a singer, a guitar and all kinds of other stuff, knickknacks, shenanigans. Pop, grunge, ritual, punk, never as dogma, always as an attempt at failing.
