Owing his origins to both Brussels and Manchester, Oceaán is an entrancing new talent.
A skewed, left field take on electro pop, upcoming EP 'The Grip' is both deeply cerebral and utterly enchanting. Introducing the document, the producer said:
"I wanted to explore the duality between lyrical context and conceptual production. Taking influences from many facets of electronic music, my main aim was to investigate the effectiveness of songwriting within the electronic plane – whether it be marrying a lyrical concept with similar tonal aspects (inherently present within the production), and more importantly, creating and displaying disparity between them."
New track 'Candour' definitely explores this duality. Musical beautiful, the sparse arrangement allows for Oceaán to explore some intensely personal lyrical themes.
Check it out now.
