This Oceanic Feeling:
Universal Mind Released 24th July
New
exciting three-piece This Oceanic Feeling, fronted by prominent
singer/songwriter and producer Chris Braide, has announced the release of their
debut album Universal Mind on 24dth
July 2015 through Cherry Red Records.
Chris
and drummer Ash Soan had developed a strong musical connection as founder
members of The Producers with Trevor Horn, before Braide moved to the US in
2009. When they linked up again, the old chemistry was still there and the idea
of forming a new band immediately took shape.
The muse
was swiftly awakened and an album’s worth of new songs came to life, the lyrics
facing the unresolved dualism between fake and real self and their eternal
fight for dominance. “It's
a positive album, one that I'm proud of and one that I had to make” -
says Braide enthusiastically.
Outstanding
bassist Lee Pomeroy was called to join Chris and Ash in their distinctive creative
venture and This Oceanic Feeling was born. Braide compares the album’s
sound to ‘The Police or YES 90125
era, big shiny new wave pop music with rock trousers on and occasionally prog
sandals!’
The
12 songs on Universal Mind feature
some of the most rich, dynamic musicianship of 2015. In times of
self-obsession, virtual personas and overpowering ego, the thought-provoking
lyrics are bound to strike a chord with the more conscious listener.
For
all those liking their melody with a meaningful aftertaste, this is possibly
your album of the year; take the journey across its cinematic landscape, from
darkness to light, to escape the person you were and embrace the person you
really are.
