Set your shoes to gaze mode and rip into this king size cloud of ethereal dream pop. Inspired by the spate of Brits leaning into swirling distortion and punishing volume, San Jose’s Ozean played just two shows in their brief existence, dissolving before the Scene That Celebrates Itself ever broke the silicon barrier. The quartet’s 1993 self-titled demo cassette has been remastered and pressed at 45RPM, a timeless document of late adolescent wonder and experimentation.

STAFF COMMENTS

Liam says: Never ever thought this would see the light of day... Absolutely ESSENTIAL bit of shoegaze history right here. Ozean only ever played two gigs and released this as a demo cassette back in '93. However it is one of the best releases in the whole of the genre, proper ethereal gazy goodness! Copies of the extremely scarce and inferior 2017 press go for upwards of £330 on discogs, so make sure to get your mitts on this!!!
