Oceansize, awesome band from Manchester, England.

Named after a Jane's Addiction song, with influences of Cave In, Elbow, Mogwai and many more. Simply amazing. Their debut album Effloresce is 75 minutes of pure perfection.

I downloaded a bunch more of their stuff and they sound like a pretty wicked band . . . I think I'll buy their cd if i can find it and have money.

That's only half the song :D They shortened it for the video. The album is 12 songs of the same quality, with an average of 6,5 minutes a song :drool:

It's Christmas break, so I'll be home more, which means I'll be on the Hub more, so I can share the whole album (until you find a copy to buy of course). There are plans for a US tour next year, but that's not sure yet. But if they do, don't miss it.
