US post-rockers THE END OF THE OCEAN are back, with ‘”bravado”‘, their new single and first release in seven years.
The single follows the announcement made earlier this year that THE END OF THE OCEAN have signed with Equal Vision Records / Rude Records. The band have recently completed their highly-anticipated label debut with producer Mike Watts (The Dillinger Escape Plan, Glassjaw), which will be released early next year, with more details to be announced soon.
This is the first new material since the band’s highly praised 2011 debut, Pacific-Atlantic. With so much going on in their personal lives, Tara Mayer (keys) says that THE END OF THE OCEAN needed to “give ourselves a chance to hurt so that we could have the chance to heal” before even thinking about another release. The past few years have forced the band to come to terms with their own humanity and mortality, as well as that of their bandmates and friends. Now finally in a place to focus on new music, THE END OF THE OCEAN are back and stronger than ever.
Their new music balances rich, thoughtful melodic passages, high-energy riff-wielding and truly epic climatic outpourings. Championed for their maelstrom of nostalgia, hope, beauty, melancholy, chaos and tranquility, THE END OF THE OCEAN are bigger, bolder and ready to return.
