It’s been a while since Oblique Rain came to life, in 2004.
The will and good taste of two old friends, Flávio and César, made them start an unusual project for the portuguese underground scene.
Not better, nor worst, but simply different.
Their story is written by dreams, frustrations and hope, but most of all by attitude and growing knowledge.
They had the potential and creativity for the mission, but they where lacking the right partners, the ones who would share the same visions and tastes as them.
These came as a gift and so naturally as they could not imagine.
Daniel Botelho and André Ribeiro joined the band middle 2006 and the way they commited was pure magic.
Oblique Rain were ready to start their journey to the unknown and planning the make of their debut Album.
"ISOHYET" is coming early September.
The result of two years of experimenting was recorded as shaped as possible for a debut work.
The judgment is left for those who during the past months where expecting this release and for new followers which can eventually be seduce by these oblique soundscapes.
The band expectations are none, as you cannot expect anything from something you simply don’t know.
Oblique Rain whishes to thank to all of you who have been supporting their work and dedicate this Album to them.
Oblique cumpliments to all of you.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book,
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others’ dreams.
(Fernando Pessoa)
