The album’s twelve tracks mix shimmering, atmospheric soundscapes, with insistent drums and their trademark hypnotic, three-guitar attack, which catapulted them to the forefront of the so-called ‘new prog revolution’ of the 2000s. Echoing the expansive instrumentals of Mogwai, the rock-experimentalism of Jane’s Addiction and the sonic onslaught of My Bloody Valentine, Oceansize scaled new heights of grandiose, ethereal and utterly captivating music. It’s rare for a name to so eloquently sum up a band and yet for Oceansize, their moniker only scratched the surface of the vast depths of musicianship displayed within this quintet. Hailing from Manchester, Oceansize owed nothing to the city’s most renowned acts. Instead Oceansize followed their own musical paths to stunning effect, from their formation in 1998 to the band’s break-up in 2011. Comprising Mike Vennart (lead vocals / guitar), Steve Durose (guitar/ vocals), Gambler (guitar), Jon Ellis (bass) and Mark Heron (drums), Oceansize met whilst studying at Salford University. They self-released their first EP ‘Amputee’ in 1999, followed by the ‘A Very Still Moment’ EP before signing to Beggars Banquet in 2000. They released the ‘Relapse’ EP via the label in 2002, with production by one of their heroes, Tim Smith from Cardiacs. Tracks from those EPs such as ‘Amputee’ and ‘Saturday Morning Breakfast Show’ found their way on to their debut album. ‘Effloresce’ – which means “to burst forth into or as if into a flower” – was originally released on 29 September 2003. All the tracks were recorded and produced by Chris Sheldon (Foo Fighters, Feeder) during Spring / Summer 2003. The album includes the singles ‘Catalyst’, ‘Remember Where You Are’ and ‘One Day All Could be Yours’ as well as the tracks ‘Long Forgotten’ and ‘Massive Bereavement’, which feature mesmerising strings from cello, violin and viola duo Martin & Kimberley McCarrick. At the time, the band described ‘Effloresce’ as: “a schizophrenic album: blissed-out highs to brooding lows with violent outbursts in between. We want to send the listener on a journey through the euphoric and the terrifying – an emotional rollercoaster that they can immerse themselves in. Like all our favourite records, once you’ve allowed it to grab you, you’re in it for the long haul. Oh, and it rocks like a bastard, too.” The album gained critical accolades, with the press comparing them favourably to bands like Mogwai, Tool, Nirvana, Jane’s Addiction, My Bloody Valentine, Can and Faith No More, among others. Rolling Stone described it as “an hour-plus of guitar-army paradise.” Artist Oceansize Genre Progressive Label Beggars Banquet Buying Options 2LP Gatefold Sleeve Format 2LP , Gatefold Sleeve Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings I Am The Morning Catalyst One Day All This Could Be Yours Massive Bereavement Rinsed You Wish Remember Where You Are Amputee Unravel Women Who Love Men Who Love Drugs Saturday Morning Breakfast Show Long Forgotten Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Oceansize and more from Progressive View Product Quick View Oceansize Everyone Into Position Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Beggars Arkive | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 3rd June 2022 £26.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Oceansize Everyone Into Position £26.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Beggars Arkive SKU: BBQ244LP2 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 3rd June 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Oceansize Self Preserved While The Bodies Float Up Progressive | Superball Music | 180g, 1LP, Includes CD Released 3rd September 2010 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Oceansize Self Preserved While The Bodies Float Up £13.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Superball Music SKU: 0504421 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 3rd September 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Oceansize Frames Progressive | Inside Out | 180g, 2LP, Includes CD Released 1st September 2014 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Oceansize Frames £19.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Inside Out SKU: 0504301 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Includes CD Released Date: 1st September 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Blodwyn Pig Ahead Rings Out Blues | BGO | 1LP Released 29th November 2023 £18.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Blodwyn Pig Ahead Rings Out £18.00 Genre: Blues Label: BGO SKU: nn276920 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th November 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Ozric Tentacles At The Pongmasters Ball Progressive | Madfish | 2LP Released 1st July 2016 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ozric Tentacles At The Pongmasters Ball £23.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Madfish SKU: SMALP1052 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 1st July 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Marillion Live From Cadogan Hall Progressive | Earmusic | 4LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 9th October 2020 £37.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Marillion Live From Cadogan Hall £37.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Earmusic SKU: 0215190EMU Formats: 4LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 9th October 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Porcupine Tree The Sky Moves Sideways Progressive | Kscope | 180g, 2LP Released 5th May 2017 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Porcupine Tree The Sky Moves Sideways £21.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Kscope SKU: KSCOPE949 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 5th May 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Anekdoten Nucleus Progressive | Kscope | 180g, 1LP Released 24th July 2020 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Anekdoten Nucleus £18.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Kscope SKU: KSCOPE1057 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 24th July 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Astra The Weirding Progressive | Rise Above | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 16th August 2023 £50.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Astra The Weirding £50.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Rise Above SKU: nn269327 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 16th August 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Klone Meanwhile Progressive | Kscope | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 10th February 2023 £22.00 -
