Oceanator, the solo effort of Elise Okusami, is noisy and brash and awesome. It's one that I missed when it first came out, and kept going back to. The guitar work is amazing, the songs are both catchy and confessional, and the whole experience is one that feels like it's racing to its endpoint while not leaving anything behind. It's one of my favorites because it's so different, and yet has a very familiar feel.
Okusami has a very interesting voice in the indie rock landscape, and this debut full-length effort is a great starting point. Can't wait for what's next.
Songs of note: "I Would Find You," "Goodbye, Goodnight," "Heartbeat," "Hide Away."
