Following the worldwide success of initial singles Beyond Us, Voyage & Bolero, Sydney’s breathtaking alternative prog rock outfit Glass Ocean release their stellar 4th single Almaida from their debut album The Remnants of Losing Yourself in Someone Else out August 21 via eminent prog label Wild Thing Records.
Vocalist, Tobias Atkins says of the track, “Lost in malevolence and spite, sometimes we have travelled too far down a dark road for the light to turn us back. Sometimes, a taste of our own medicine is enough to wake us from the living dead into life. A taste of where our ideals could take us if we dare travel any further down this road. Feeding monsters make them grow until they’re all that’s left. It feels like nothing can turn you back at this point. Still, making friends with the dark will help you understand it. How it dwells inside you, feeds on your fear and insecurity. But it does not have to control you.”
Today, the band release the official Almaida music video once again made by the hands of acclaimed director and Caligula’s Horse guitarist, Adrian Goleby.
The Remnants of Losing Yourself in Someone Else draws you into the waves of vocalist Tobias Atkins’ heartfelt storytelling, which is escorted by trance-inducing heavy grooves, clouds of futuristic synth layers, and far-reaching, punchy guitars. Produced, mixed and mastered by Chris Blancato (Northlane), Glass Ocean’s new record also showcases the continued collaboration with ex-founding member Nic Pettersen (Northlane) who co-wrote album tracks Voyage, A Dream From Which I May Not Wake, Soul Slumber, Divide, Pride, and Almaida. Swaying smoothly between genres and influences, the record ushers the listener through the compelling emotions and energy of Tobias Atkins’ personal narrative and magnetising vocal performances.
The album is available for pre order now!
