Los Angeles, CA indie/shoegaze/post punk band OSNOVA have shared their new single “Climbing Dues” and its accompanying video.
The song is out now via Dune Altar and explores generational struggles and the cost of chasing success. Get it here.
OSNOVA began as an instrumental duo; Sam (drums) and Jean-Claude (guitar). The two wrote, recorded, and performed while searching for the perfect vocalist. Two years later, that person came in the form of Caroline McLaughlin. Combining elements of Shoegaze, Post-Punk, and 90’s rock, the band released their debut EP in Fall 2022. In Fall of 2023, the band begin to work with Dune Altar records and released their single “Waiting for June” in August 2024.
Of the song, Caroline McLaughlin comments:
“‘Climbing Dues’ touches on the rising costs of participating in a society that wants to take what it finds most valuable from you. Each generation goes through a similar cycle as we all scramble to achieve what is perceived as ‘success’ until we are ultimately deemed no longer valuable by society’s standards and the cycle starts again with a younger generation.”
The video, shot by Adam Brant & Jean-Claude Vorgeack, offers a dreamy, nocturnal journey through the heart of their latest single.
