Regrettably, no.



But Vennart is worth a look

Mogwai can be quite similar musically (minus any metal influence), but they are almost entirely instrumental. Lotta people would probably recommend Porcupine Tree too, because there are some similarities with their albums from the late 90s and early 2000s. Two completely different styles though, but some of the fans of both bands overlap.

New Vennart out today. Guess it's time for an Oceansize/Vennart binge.

Hard ^^ Although when I listen to Vennart I normally listen to a couple songs and then put Oceansize on. EDIT: In answer to Porklips... maybe give the band Cardiacs a go. They don't necessarily sound like Oceansize but are without doubt their biggest influence. The albums A Little Man and a House and the Whole World Window or Sing to God are good places to start.

Oscar Acceptance Speech, Ransoms, and Pine are just stunning.

Never got into Cardiacs even the slightest bit. Aside from the rare zaney bits Oceansize does (for example on Sleeping Dogs) i don't hear substantial influence

Too bombastic but most of this is fantastic and I don’t think much of a drop off from their other 3.

Agree though, the mid album pacing is a bit of a head scratcher

Thrown in the waste paper,

Got lost in my pocket,

Bought on the never-never...

And sold on the tick.



I would've never known;

'Cos no-one would tell me

That when they found her body

That "no offer or ransom"

Could bring her back to me.

For a walk in the moonlight,

I'd pay all the money...

I'd pay all the money...



And if we get out of this alive,

We'll never stop knowing,

That we had the money

We had the money...

This album's pacing/sequencing finally clicked for me recently

Can anyone rec me Folk that goes in the very same direction as Pine? At least to me that's clearly a folk song, and so far the genre hasn't completely clicked for me
