“Ocean Hue” begins with an ambient tranquility of floating and sparkling motes of sound before Baleen ramps the song into high gear with whirling guitar fuzz. The male and female vocals in ethereal tandem float on the soaring guitar melody and steady yet expressive percussion. The warping and winding dynamic of the song and its cool swirls of tone and the exuberant energy of the song embody a trip on the ocean on a sunny day coasting the waves at high speed. There is an exhilarating quality to the song that the band sustains until the very end when the sounds recede into the tranquil depths and warp out of tune in a wonderfully disorienting fashion. Listen to “Ocean Hue” on Spotify.
