I relistened Oceill's first album, Oceill (2023), and was once again blown away by how much it slaps.

The Vibes on this album are out of this world. Speed Queen gives us a heroic and brisk race, while Repose sounds like we've stumbled into a video game villain's dungeon and we're listening to his monologue and fighting our way out.

There are very little vocals in Oceill's sound, but they don't need any. The songs tell their stories and take us through their landscapes and colours nonverbally. The way the vocals are mixed in Speed Queen and Malaise especially are mixed wonderfully. One could say that they drown with the instrumentals a little, but I think it's cool how the wordless vocals are mixed like any other instrument.

The songs are mixed so that they flow into each other, so you fly through the album without even realising it. Despite this, every song has a distinct vibe and journey to it. The Stumbler for example has a lot of baroque(?) piano sound and Course Bottom has a dramatic, cinematic feel to it. Fifteen Years gives us a pious, majestic and emotional ending to the album that both ends the album in a firm, satisfying way and leaves us wanting more (in a good way!).

Oceill has only this one album out, but it's already insanely good. I always say that any band or artist's first few albums shouldn't be judged too harshly because there's always some Early Years Jank(TM) before they find their sound. However, Oceill's sound is already so polished, well-mixed and detailed that you wouldn't guess that it's their first album! If they sound this good now, I can't wait to hear how their sound develops and how good they'll get when they find their niche. I'll definitely eagerly wait for more from them!

Listen/purchase: Repose by Oceill

“Part 1/2 It's been a long way to get here. After 5 months of different stages of songwriting, composition, production and whatnot, we finally finished what we think is so far the strongest, most coherent piece of music we've done. This track will be followed by a 5 minute long second part hopefully released around next month... or the month after that.

released September 12, 2015 Joel Lindfors - Engineering, mixing and programming Axel Lindfors - Guitars Tapio Mikkola - Bass Guitar Santeri Tammi - Synth and sound design The song was produced by our drummer Joel Lindfors at Lindfors Productions. If you like the outcome and your band needs someone to get your music sound good, he's taking clients for mixing, mastering and production: www.facebook.com/LindforsProductions I'd like to thank 'Stringify' for offering us the opportunity to get the string section of the song recorded live.
