2004. England
Progressive Rock/Post-Rock
Oceansize is a difficultly categorizable band from Manchester, England. With root in Rock and influence drawn from tons of other styles, they've managed to create a trademark sound that is as melodic and subtle as complex and apparently chaotic. And somehow they get everything together.
Music For Nurses EP is released a year after their first entire release Effloresce. After having heard it plenty of times it's five songs sound as one; and although being short, I can draw so much personality out of this fantastic EP. It starts aggresive, rapid and direct; it suddenly soothes and goes atmospheric and post-rock at it's best. It finally grows strong, melodic and epic. Stunning.
