Description
Oceansize “Effloresce” Double LP
Manchester-based indie-prog-rockers with ties to USA Nails and Biffy Clyro, albeit indirect, who released their debut album in 2003 on Beggars Banquet. A joyful tangle of math-rock, space rock and post rock. All performed with a level of musicianship that makes you want to clench your fists and groan with envy. For added interest (for me especially) was an influence drawn from the Cardiacs , and you can hear the occasional blast of grandeur, or quirky melodies with complex and unconventional time signatures (the late, great Tim Smith of the Cardiacs produced their Relapse EP of 2002).
