Our Take

Ancient Ocean's latest offering, "TitanS Island," is a mesmerizing journey through the depths of ambient drone. The Brooklyn-based artist creates sonic landscapes that are as vast and expansive as the titular TitanS Island itself.

From the opening track, "Abyssal Plains," it's clear that Ancient Ocean is a master of crafting lush soundscapes that transport listeners to otherworldly realms. The ethereal melodies and hypnotic rhythms are reminiscent of a psychedelic underwater dance party, with shimmering synths and pulsating basslines that ebb and flow like ocean currents.

Tracks like "Seabed Serenade" and "Lost Horizon" showcase Ancient Ocean's talent for building tension and suspense, drawing listeners in with their haunting melodies and intricate layers of sound. The album's production is top-notch, with crystal-clear soundscapes that envelop you in a wall of sound.

However, "TitanS Island" is not without its faults. Some tracks can feel a bit meandering and repetitive, losing the listener's interest at times. Additionally, the album's length may test the patience of even the most devout ambient music fans.

Overall, "TitanS Island" is a captivating and immersive listen that showcases Ancient Ocean's unique talent for creating atmospheric and otherworldly music. While it may not be a perfect album, it's certainly worth diving into for those looking for a sonic escape from the mundane. Just be sure to bring your snorkel and flippers for this deep sea expedition.
