Oceanics’ self-titled debut album is the culmination of a methodical, in-house approach which spanned more than two years. Some songs were written years ago, others mere hours before recording. 

The collective body of work sees the band wear their influences in an unabashed, straight-shooting fashion that only a group who have spent years writing together can do.  

During the process, the band internalised the concept that expectation breeds disappointment. Thus, the album was made for little more than the fun and satisfaction of song writing, staying up all night, sleeping on floors and tirelessly trekking between Queensland and Sydney. 

The release will be celebrated with a special one-off show at Elsewhere on the Gold Coast.

Sophie was a tall girl, held me from across the room
I asked her what’s her name, she told me “What’s the difference to you?”
Sophie choked me up looking over top of her magazines
Well man did we have fun, but man well she could speak pretty mean

And it hurts, yeah it hurts, yeah it hurts to admit
That I wish I could search through her phonebooks again
Yeah I hate to be alone, I feel I’m driving blind at the wheel

Baby thinks I need someone, I said baby thinks I need someone
Do I need someone, do I need someone?
Yeah b-baby says to search for something 

Oh she was a tall girl looking over shoulders at me
When she finally cracked a smile I was already flying back overseas

And it hurts, yeah it hurts, yeah it hurts me to say
That I wish it had worked when she told me to stay
But enough just ain’t enough when too much is what’s been waiting for you

Baby thinks I need someone, I said baby thinks I need someone
Do I need someone, do I need someone?
Yeah b-baby says to search for something 

She was only one of three but I forgot the others already
I’ve been here before but I always leave
Yeah I forgot the others already
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

Baby thinks I need someone, I said baby thinks I need someone
Do I need someone, do I need someone?
Yeah b-baby says to search for something 
Baby thinks I need someone, I said baby thinks I need someone
Do I need someone, do I need someone?
Yeah b-b-baby says to search for something
