Songs for the end of the world with Oceanator
Episode 17
Friday, 28 August, 2020
This week I’m joined by Elise Okusami, singer, songwriter, and arranger for the band Oceanator. Today, Oceanator is releasing their debut full-length album Things I Never Said. In many ways, it seems like this album was written about this particular moment in time. Songs like “A Crack in the World” or “I Would Find You” have an end-of-the-world energy that could easily be talking about the coronavirus pandemic, the pandemic of police brutality and racism, or the economic crisis that the US is facing. But Elise wrote these songs years ago — she says she’s always been a little bit of a doomsday person. Despite the album’s apocalyptic themes, it also finds solace in relationships and catharsis in ‘90’s inspired alternative rock. Songs included in this episode: "I Would Find You" and "Heartbeat" by Oceanator
