The Oceanfloor
>> Whole Animal
In certain cultures, where there are no supermarkets or chip shops, the people must strive and suffer for their sustenance. Generations pass on the secrets of survival and one of the most important secrets is that if you hunt a creature you owe it the respect of using the whole animal. The oceanfloor have an understanding of this train of thought (I trust) because, going by this ep, there is little-to-no wastage. Songs are brooding yet efficient, they sneak up on you but are sure to tip their cap before they leave. I really enjoy ‘Spill’ with its choral simplicity and aching guitar. ‘The Whole Animal’ is a sniper of a tune; it delivers a great deal and you can barely sense its presence. If this is a sign of things to come then I’m pretty excited and for those of you who still believe in music with a soul then you will not be disappointed by the oceanfloor.
