Self Preserved While the Bodies Float Up

One of the UK's true innovators, Oceansize have carved a unique place for themselves in the music scene. Previous albums Effloresce, Everyone Into Position and Frames; recent DVD Feed to Feed and a series of EP's have been hugely critically acclaimed. This acclaim, in part recognition that Oceansize look to do things differently to the mainstream. So what does Oceansize actually sound like? To answer that, we'd need to start coughing out logic-free cod-philosophical analogies. The band love texture, dimension, fucking about with time, discord, dissonance, and the element of surprise. The sound might be progressive but never forgets the importance of a good song.
