Our new album PALIMPSEST is out now. Merch/Vinyl - bit.ly/2OCeDdx

lyrics

“My sisters and brothers they hated so bad
To see me go west like someone gone mad
To leave all my loved ones and kiss them goodbye
Just hoping I’d see them in the sweet by-and-by.”

California promised heaven
(All the leaves are brown)
A heaven we could not deny
(And the sky is grey)
But the dust we’re running from still stalks us in the night
And all we’ve found is a bitter lie

With our lives on our backs, beat a path in the earth
Just hoping that we’d find blue skies and work
The farmlands and sawmills worked fine for a time
But with the father’s death came our decline

He that would the daughter win
Must with the mother first begin
Diligence is the mother of good luck
Diligence is the mother of good luck

They don’t need to know my name
Hide their faces, spare my children the shame
They don’t need to know my name
Hide their faces, spare my children the shame

Where is the children’s father?
Sacrificed on or left to the altar
Where is the life I was promised?
Best left unasked and best left unwanted
How did they end up here?
What are they going to do?
How did they end up here?
What are they going to do?

He that would the daughter win
Must with the mother first begin
Diligence is the mother of good luck
Diligence is the mother of good luck

California promised heaven
(All the leaves are brown)
A heaven we could not deny
(And the sky is grey)
But I’ll deny most anything
Rags and riches, gods and kings
Just need to feel the wheels underneath me

i like the Rick Beato videos and he had shown the track electric sunrise in his video "How To Count Odd Meters". I was very impressed from this song and searched for the whole album and found it at bandcamp ;-) hpaydt

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed. Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help. Gruso

Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic
by The Ocean

supported by 182 fans who also own “The Migrant Mother”

The Ocean est maître du Temps et de l'Histoire : le collectif avait annoncé comme une prophétie la sortie de Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic pour 2020 et rien, pas même le cataclysme viral, ne l'aura empêché de le sortir en 2020. Mais The Ocean est aussi maître du post-metal : cet album nous fait traverser avec virtuosité le règne des dinosaures, leur extinction (avec tant d'émotions !), le chaos puis l'apparition de ces étranges créatures qui pensaient contrôler le soleil... Magistral ! Jordan Vauvert
