2LP – Limited Edition Yellow/Red Swirl Vinyl. Beggars Arkive announce the remastered vinyl reissue of Oceansizes stunning 2003 debut Effloresce. The albums twelve tracks mix shimmering, atmospheric soundscapes, with insistent drums and their trademark hypnotic, three-guitar attack, which catapulted them to the forefront of the so-called new prog revolution of the 2000s. Echoing the expansive instrumentals of Mogwai, the rock-experimentalism of Janes Addiction and the sonic onslaught of My Bloody Valentine, Oceansize scaled new heights of grandiose, ethereal and utterly captivating music. Oceansize met whilst studying at Salford University. They self-released their first EP Amputee in 1999, followed by the A Very Still Moment EP before signing to Beggars Banquet in 2000. They released the Relapse EP via the label in 2002, with production by one of their heroes, Tim Smith from Cardiacs. Tracks from those EPs such as Amputee and Saturday Morning Breakfast Show found their way on to their debut album. Effloresce – which means to burst forth into or as if into a flower – was originally released on 29 September 2003. All the tracks were recorded and produced by Chris Sheldon (Foo Fighters, Feeder) during Spring / Summer 2003. The album includes the singles Catalyst, Remember Where You Are and One Day All Could be Yours as well as the tracks Long Forgotten and Massive Bereavement, which feature mesmerising strings from cello, violin and viola duo Martin and Kimberley McCarrick.
