I've been thinking a lot about The Oceanographers as it's been about three years since we've produced any new music. It's been so depressing that I've been questioning, what's the purpose of music? Why should The Oceanographers even exist? and here's what I've come up with...
(GOING DEEPER...) *DEEP BREATH*
In a world of shallow music, I desire to create music that simply goes deeper. Deeper in emotions, deeper in meaning, and deeper in story. I desire to create music that is embedded with wisdom and that has more purpose than anything else out there. As a band, we desire to make people feel hopeful for the future even when we don't have all the answers; a feeling that is necessary to have in this post-modern-information age. We desire to create music that makes people feel like they are not alone. We desire to connect people to their emotions again: joy, anguish, love, hope, fear, all of them in a beautiful catharsis of sound.
If you're into this. please consider taking the plunge with us...
I have about three more albums worth of material that I've been working on. If you're interested in more music from us, please let me know.
