Oceans’ debut, Nothing Collapses, is a sprawling masterpiece that flexes a magnificent scope. Released on Portland, Oregon label, Copper Lung, Nothing Collapses is sixty minutes of continuous goose bumps that reinforces such a worthy and infinite band name. After two self-released demos, the Chicago instrumental juggernaut has thrown down a massive gauntlet with an enthralling and monumental piece of post rock. Filtered through the influences of Midwestern indie/emo and indebted to DIY/punk rock values, Oceans are playing instrumental music with a deliberate, yet dynamic purpose. Most importantly, Nothing Collapses fuels an unmistakable heart and soul that takes your breath away, reminding you of why you fell in love with instrumental music in the first place. Sometimes it takes a band like Oceans to come along and make other bands look themselves in the mirror. There is no need for delusions of grandeur for Oceans. Nothing Collapses simply sets the bar higher.
