i’d be lying if i said i’ve REALLY been listening to anything other than oceana’s clean head ep for the last 2 weeks. though their “rise-recordcore” status always kept me from listening to them in the past (i still can’t stand anything else from their back-catalog) this EP is a complete retooling on the bands sound. “joy” the EP’s fourth and last track is a touching and fitting closer, building through hopeful choruses into it’s glimmering end. for those of you out there still trying to find a band to fill the void left by the break up of as cities burn, give the clean head EP a shot. you might be surprised.
