THE OCEAN’s most recent releases include a split EP entitled Transcendental with Japanese post-rock legends Mono, as well as their critically-acclaimed last album, Pelagial (2013), which was hailed as the group’s, “most ambitious record to date” (HeavyBlogIsHeavy.com). Over the course of the crushingly massive record, “tender piano interludes get stomped on by Mastodon-shaped footprints, lush strings work next to bulldozing double-kick work, and, at the end, the submarine crashes at Melvins tempos” (Spin.com).
