Ocean View 04:04
all wrapped in gold and ready to begin it’s manageable if you’re willing to give in and let it bloom tell me that ocean is still blue (for you) bring me to a peaceful ocean view it’s set in stone no need to even talk it tears me up and while it sinks in i want you to commit and play that blues tell me that the ocean is in bloom (for you) bring me to a peaceful ocean view just let it bloom tell me that the ocean is still blue (for you) bring me to a peaceful ocean view

Fools Rage 04:36
we’re all just a bitter mess hoping that it will change stroll through the poisened lands on to a brighter day i’ll play a song to take you on i’ll play a song to take you on it’s a fools rage as it all decays how the bad words keep me down on a troubled day part of me still upset knowing that i’ve been caught far from the poisened land like seeds on abondoned soil i’ll play a song to take me home it’s a fools rage as it all decays how the bad words keep me down on a troubled day it’s a fools rage as it all decays how the bad words keep me down on a troubled day it’s a fools rage as it all decays how the bad words keep me down on a troubled day

Silver Cloud 03:52
to commit is to come out to forfeit with words of doubt i’m not saying i’ll do right i just pray that we’ill be fine on a silver cloud hear their hopeful shouts on a silver cloud let the lies crop us in place i’m the rain on your dirty face i could settle just to end this game and break like a modern man to fulfill and to get out to sedate with words of doubt i kept thinking i was right now i pray that we’ll be fine on a silver cloud hear their hopeful shouts on a silver cloud let the lies crop us in place i’m the rain on your dirty face i could settle just to end this game and break like a modern man to break is a modern win let the lies crop us in place i’m the rain on your dirty face i could settle just to end this game and break like a modern man tob break is a modern win

mind the false hopes still not sure how i lost it all march on to unknowns solitude is my only home how long should i keep it silent i found comfort in losing touch cold hearts never break as violent despite of you trying everything gets lost in anger i’m prepared to let you suffer it’s unfair to stay calm through their eyes i saw everything, pitch black march on to unknowns solitude is my only hope how long should i keep it silent i found comfort in losing touch cold hearts never break as violent despite of you trying everything gets lost in anger i’m prepared to let you suffer how long should i keep it silent i found comfort in losing touch cold hearts never break as violent despite of you trying everything gets lost in anger i’m prepared to let you suffer you brought me to my knees a comforting release

about

The Ocean View EP was composed and recorded between August and November 2021, which, for us, is an unusually short period to create a body of work. The whole thing was conceived and completed in one flow of consciousness.

Since we hadn’t been able to play live together for a while, we felt the need to record these tracks sitting in a room together, playing the songs from start to finish as a group. Most of the tracks have been recorded in just one or a few takes. The whole process was very refreshing, the energy in the room was incredible. We honestly think we’ve never sounded as much as a band as on this recording.

We're used to spending at least six or seven months just fine tuning every little detail on our records. This time all sounds on the tracks were created or emerged from just that one moment we played that track together in the studio.
