On Oceanator’s new single “Part Time,” songwriter Elise Okusami showcases her exceptional pop sensibilities, delivering a catchy rock anthem with a wealth of melodic depth and lively energy. Co-written with Cheekface’s Greg Katz and mixed by Alex Newport (Death Cab For Cutie, Bloc Party), the song glides with bouncy piano and chunky guitar riffs that harken back to early 60’s rock n’ roll.
Oceanator’s music has been praised in outlets such as Stereogum, Pitchfork, NPR and SPIN, who described Okusami as having “the kind of voice that can silence a room.” The band has shared the stage with the likes of Jeff Rosenstock, Laura Jane Grace, PUP, and others with a notable touring history across North America and Europe.
