Grappling Hooks is the debut album released by Scottish post-progressive electronic rock band North Atlantic Oscillation comprised of Ben Martin and Sam Healy. Synth, electronica and plenty of drum fills predominate this hook and groove laden sonic landscape with Healy's dream pop stylized vocals heavily resonating with reverberation. A smattering of cameo influences fade in and drift away such as Radiohead, The Big Pink, Sigur Ros, The Flaming Lips and Super Furry Animals. Clearly produced with headphones in mind, Grappling Hooks is an auditory excursion best enjoyed nestled into the barcalounger with the feet up and head tilted back.
