Press Reception

[edit]

"Not too many bands have the balls to write music with the kind of jaw dropping ambition and eye on progression that The Ocean Fracture manage on this exceptional debut mini-album... as much as we all need the quick melodic fix of an over-produced rock band, it is equally important that we challenge our minds and, quite frankly, it doesn't get more worthy than this."

- Rock Sound Magazine, Issue 87 - August 2006

"Strange time changes and tunings are prominent throughout and the mix of Thursday-esque singing and insane screeches, roars and screams are something special. Rarely is such emotion and passion heard in today's rock music as on the brave and experimental epics of 'Polaroid Intimacy' and 'Thalassa'."

- Big Cheese Magazine, October 2006

"Though there's been no shortage of bands from the US taking their cues from the designs of Boston post-hardcore pioneers Isis, a small stronghold of guitar experimentation is developing this side of the pond, thanks to the efforts of this glaswegian collective. Full of spiralling guitars, sprawling expanses, melodic highs and gutural lows, 'Sunmachine...' makes for a complex and ambitious statement."
