The Observatory

**The Observatory** is a boundary-pushing experimental rock band from Singapore, known for their genre-blurring sound that weaves together post-rock, psychedelic textures, and electronic experimentation. Formed in 2001 by Leslie Low (also of The Humpback Oak) and Vivian Wang, the group—including members Dharma and Bani Hidir—has carved out a reputation for dark, atmospheric explorations that tackle existential themes and societal critiques. Their music often feels like a cinematic journey, balancing brooding intensity with moments of fragile beauty.

Over the years, they’ve kept fans on their toes with releases like *Catacombs* (2014), *Continuum* (2018), and the haunting *Demon State* (2021), alongside earlier gems like *Dark Folke* and *Oscilla*. Recent works such as *Blank Walls* and *A Far Cry From Here* continue their tradition of merging raw, visceral energy with avant-garde curiosity, solidifying their status as pioneers in Singapore’s indie music scene. Whether in the studio or through their immersive live performances, The Observatory remains a compelling force for listeners who crave music that defies easy categorization.
