Our Take

Ocean Colour Scene, the perpetually underrated Britpop band, is back with their latest offering, "Painting." And let me tell you, it's like a breath of fresh air on a smog-filled London afternoon.

From the moment the needle hits the glorious white vinyl, you're transported to a place where parkas are still cool and Liam Gallagher reigns supreme. The band's signature blend of rock, soul, and psychedelic influences is on full display here, with frontman Simon Fowler's vocals soaring like a seagull over the English Channel.

Tracks like "Just a Little Boy (for Chester Burnett)" and "Monica's Dream" showcase Ocean Colour Scene's knack for crafting catchy hooks and infectious melodies that will have you tapping your foot and humming along in no time.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "Painting." The band delves into some darker themes on tracks like "Man in the Middle" and "Crazy Jane," exploring the complexities of life and love with a rawness and honesty that is truly refreshing.

In conclusion, Ocean Colour Scene has once again proven why they are one of the most underrated bands in the UK music scene. "Painting" is a triumph of nostalgia and modernity, a sonic tapestry that will have you reaching for your parka and dreaming of the glory days of Britpop. Don't sleep on this album, folks. It's a true gem in a sea of mediocrity.

About the artist

Ocean Colour Scene

Step right up, folks, and get ready to dive head-first into the swirling sea of sound that is Ocean Colour Scene. These Britpop pioneers have been making waves in the music industry for over three decades, and show no signs of slowing down. With their infectious melodies, razor-sharp lyrics, and signature Mod-inspired style, OCS have solidified their place as one of the most beloved bands in the UK. Hailing from Birmingham, England, Ocean Colour Scene burst onto the scene in the early 90s, alongside the likes of Oasis and Blur. But unlike their more bombastic counterparts, OCS opted for a more introspective approach to their music, blending elements of classic rock, soul, and psychedelia to create their own unique sound. Frontman Simon Fowler's distinctive vocals soar over Steve Cradock's jangly guitar riffs, while the rhythm section of Raymond Meade and Oscar Harrison provide a solid backbone for the band's anthemic choruses and infectious hooks. And let's not forget the band's secret weapon, keyboardist and occasional vocalist, Brian Travers, whose intricate melodies and lush harmonies add an extra layer of depth to OCS's sound. Whether you're a die-hard fan who knows every word to "The Day We Caught The Train," or a newbie just dipping your toe into the ocean of OCS's discography, one thing is for certain: this band knows how to put on a show. So grab your parka, lace up your Doc Martens, and get ready to lose yourself in the timeless tunes of Ocean Colour Scene. You won't regret it.
