Oceansize EP Details 2009-08-17 by Thatsummerathome | 13 Comments | Manchester prog rockers Oceansize will release a new EP in October called Home and Minor.
The band wrote on MySpace: "The world and it’s dog did their “MTV Unplugged”. David St. Hubbins had his collection of acoustic numbers with the London Philharmonic. Bernie Winters had Schnorbitz. And, at long last, here is the Oceansize equivalent: the Home And Minor EP.
"Fear not, Oceansize haven’t gone acoustic. There are no “More Than Words” moments to be found here. Indeed, there’s not even actually any acoustic guitar anywhere on it. Moreover, this is a short (well, short by our standards. Quite long by The Strokes’ or Slayer’s) collection of our more ’settled’ numbers. More reserved, with not a distortion pedal in sight (except for a couple of bits you probably wont notice until you’ve heard it ten times), this lovely EP is a realisation of a plan that’s been kicking around our collective brains since before we were signed in 2002.
"Where in the past we’ve crowbarred-in every single dynamic, idea and style we could think of into a record, we thought it best this time to present a more thematic and cohesive collection, so’s not to disrupt the more fainted-hearted listener from their blub-induced slumber.
"Still, it covers plenty of ground, and features a fair few Oceansize firsts such as trumpets, pedal-steel guitar as well as a bit of pumping techno (pumping QUIETLY, of course) and some additional vocals from Kate Ray. It is also the first Oceansize record to be made in our own as-yet-unnamed studio in Manchester.
Does this mean Oceansize have finally grown old, knackered, and are necking pints of Horlicks and taking on unhealthy interest in the dog? No, not a bit of it. We are currently holed up in our little bubble, writing fucking reams and reams of material for our next album, some of which is our loudest and most fruity yet. But that’s all in the future."
