With the thump of a kick drum, swift and heavy like a frantic heartbeat, Oceanator (Elise Okusami) unveils her new single/video, "Get Out" (directed by Paul DeSilva), alongside details of her upcoming record, Everything is Love and Death - out August 30. Otherworldly guitars trade polished and gritty chords, swirling like a fire in the night, while Elise's lyrical chant powerfully leads the charge. 

On her previous two full-lengths, Things I Never Said (2020) and Nothing's Ever Fine (2022), Elise came to understand that all of her songs, at their core, are about “the apocalypse and love”. This idea, as if it were premonition and a reminder of the tether between all things, became the title of her new record. Working for the first time with Grammy nominated producer Will Yip (Turnstile, The Wonder Years, Bartees Strange), Elise spent a full month in the studio, longer than on previous outings, to create her most dynamic record to date.

"'Get Out' is about fighting your brain and depression when it's trying to immobilize you. I wanted to do a video on film, and the inspirations were Buffy and The Outsiders. So we figured if we were going Buffy anyway, might as well make it about literally fighting your demons and the idea for the video was born. Paul and Liz and I had a bunch of talks putting the idea together, and I'm very pleased with how it came out." - Elise Okusami (Oceanator)

Years on the road have proven that Oceanator deftly commands the elements of infectious rhythms, constructing songs built around hook-laden melodies that inspire movement in even the sturdiest of feet. Her edge for writing indelible classics has become sharpened on stone over time, hardened by the influences in her rearview; power pop, skate punk, the beautiful melodrama of pop stars and 90s alt-rock.
