“Late Night, Slip and Pull Me Under” — Melbourne’s Ohms Shares Restless New Wave Single “Neon Violence”

Ohms, the Melbourne-based solo project of multi-instrumentalist Lachlan P. Rother (formerly of U-Bahn, currently with GLASNOST and High Control Group), has released the single “Neon Violence.” The track blends synth-pop, art rock, damaged funk, and post-punk into a restless new wave composition featuring mechanical drums, warped synthesizers, and production evoking late-night urban atmospherics. Thematically, the song portrays nocturnal city life as an apparatus of stimulation and degradation, with lyrics exploring how fluorescent environments, anger, temptation, and self-destruction reshape consciousness. Recorded with Andrew Robinson, Timothy Dunn, and Stuart Mackenzie of King Gizzard, and mastered by Mikey Young, “Neon Violence” demonstrates influences from Talking Heads, Ultravox, and The The, balancing tuneful pop accessibility with unsettling sonic instability.
