Last month Oceanator announced their sophomore album Nothing's Ever Fine with the pummeling lead single "Bad Brain Daze". Today we get another look at what's in store with newest track "Stuck" – a massive song that swirls around a detuned guitar climb, using layers of fuzz, palm muted riffs and sludgy, grooving drums to blast through the feelings of stagnancy Elise Okusami outlines: “I feel heavier than I used to,” she deadpans, sinking in to the parallel heaviness of the recording. 

Elise expounds: "Stuck is about that feeling of all your collective traumas, disappointments, and general sadness just accumulating over the years and weighing you down more and more. I wrote this song the very first day I got my new baritone guitar. Bartees and Mike really helped me bring out the heaviness I was looking for with it in the studio, really helping me dial in a great guitar tone. We borrowed a double kick pedal for this song and Andrew Whitehurst nailed the drums. Eva Lawitts did the bass remote and I think the bass line is perfect."

Pre-order your Early Bird copy of Nothing's Ever Fine (out April 8) on limited edition Navy-In-Seafoam vinyl. Co-produced by Bartees Strange, AFROPUNK is already calling the release "a compelling mix of back-to-basics guitars-and-hooks with truly unexpected sonic exploration that underpins both artists' work." Oceanator will tour all across North America this spring supporting labelmates Pedro The Lion and Laura Jane Grace, plus select summer shows with PUP. Tickets for all upcoming shows are onsale now.
