Out on 5/12/15 on Bad Friend Records, Lobo Marino's new record, "We Hear The Ocean," features urgent melodies atop lush harmonium drones and primal percussion. Rich with harmonies and chants, the duo's unusual folk music is driven by spiritual exploration and a yearning for peace. Whether in the buzz of a mouthharp or the ringing of a bowl, Lobo Marino’s natural curiosity constantly shines through this adventurous collection of meditative music.

The engrossing sounds on "We Hear The Ocean" may draw comparisons to reverb-laden buzz bands like Beach House or Grizzly Bear, but the gauzy atmosphere is actually a culmination of spending months in India, soaking in the culture and reflecting on what they found. The two have toured extensively throughout the US, playing yoga studios and basement shows, and their intimate craft is evident on this earthy wonder, their fifth album.
