One of the UK’s true innovators, Oceansize have carved a unique place for themselves in the music scene. Previous albums Effloresce and Everyone Into Position have been hugely critically acclaimed. This acclaim, in part recognition that Oceansize look to do things differently to the mainstream. The sound is progressive but never forgets the importance of good songs.
Frames is an album that takes the band to the next level. Eight tracks weighing in at 67 minutes, this is not an album of the instant but ultimately forgettable “single”. The band weaves layers of instrumentation and vocals to create a unique sound and feel. From the hypnotic weave of “Commemorative _ T-Shirt” to the skewed rock riffs of “Sleeping Dogs and Dead Lions”, from the epic sweeping orchestration of “Savant” to the broodingly minimal instrumental “An Old Friend Of The Christies”, this is Oceansize’s darkest, most adventurous and most accomplished album to date. “Frames” was recorded at Monnow valley Studios and produced by Chris Sheldon (Biffy Clyro, Foo Fighters, Radiohead.)
