Nothing Collapses, the debut full-length from Chicago instrumental band, OCEANS, is now available from Copper Lung Records (Portland, OR). Go here to grab your copy for only $6.

Oceans� debut is a sprawling masterpiece that flexes a magnificent scope. After two self-released demos, the Chicago instrumental juggernaut has thrown down a massive gauntlet with an enthralling and monumental piece of post rock. Filtered through the influences of Midwestern indie / emo and indebted to DIY / punk rock values, Oceans are playing instrumental music with a deliberate, yet dynamic purpose. Most importantly, Nothing Collapses fuels an unmistakable heart and soul that takes your breath away, reminding you of why you fell in love with instrumental music in the first place. Sometimes it takes a band like Ocenas to come along and make other bands look themselves in the mirror. Nothing Collapses simply sets the bar higher.

Free MP3 - "Traps And Traps"

This is what Oceans is about; the Chicago quintet deliver sweeping post-rock epics without resorting to lazy devices like lyrics to punch you in the sternum. Their music carries a ton of information without saying many things out loud. The result: an hour of tension and release that forces listeners to pay attention while encouraging them to drift off. In other words, it�s the manipulation of our human ability to read things other than spoken language and it is completely bad ass. - Citizen Dick

Every once in awhile, an album comes along that acts in a sense as an open-ended soundtrack to a movie that will play in the listener�s head. Nothing Collapses is one such album. In a sense the music is in the background, but not in a passively. It�s twisting, turning rhythms and layered sound paints a vivid scene with both a clear point and endless possibility. What�s best is that Oceans trusts its listeners to do their part, to participate in something great, to not just listen, but to act (at least on the stage of their own minds). - Rock And Roll And Meandering Nonsense
