premiere: Ocean Hope – By Your Side
Here's the gorgeous/auspicious debut from Corinth, Greece duo Ocean Hope, who you may already be familiar with from their appearance on the dreamy new single from fellow Grecian duo Keep Shelly in Athens. "By Your Side" is a lush, billowy dream-pop gem, taken from group's excellent forthcoming debut cassette, and it's kind of elegantly melodramatic and hypnotically off-kilter in a way that recalls Cocteau Twins' most affecting songs (shout out to Heaven Or Las Vegas, which incidentally just turned 25 years old last week). Chamber Dreams is out November 13 via Seattle label Hush Hush; listen to "By Your Side" + check the intriguing teaser for the record below:
