The stunning second album from Vancouver-based ambient post-rock outfit
INWARD OCEANS floods the senses with magical moments of pure sonic ecstasy.
Lush, organic and meticulously crafted headphone music contoured with
intricate vocal countermelodies, "Weather The Storm" surprises you with each
and every listen. Interweaving just the right amount of ambient, tonal and
spatial elements to create a sonic depth that is beautifully moving from
start to finish, this sophomore album is a masterwork of cinematic
proportion. Displaying a well-refined ability to elicit emotion, each track
tells a mesmerizing story that unfolds in the listener's ears. A dramatic
journey of the senses, "Weather The Storm" is an album about finding the
place where you know you're meant to be. Stepping up its sonic game tenfold,
Inward Oceans roars forward with a truly next level album of incredible new
sounds.
"The album title describes the phase in which we were all trying to hone in
on our identity and how best to accomplish what we were looking for
artistically. We explored, experimented and created to our hearts content in
three different studio spaces. This often caused us to pull in different
directions, generated a tempest of ideas and required us to pull together and
unify our individuality. The brooding clouds on the album cover lend
themselves to a chaotic undertone as group dynamics can feel like that at
times. However, we always focused on the light in the distance and feel that
our positivity and determination is reflected in the music. We accomplished
what at one point seemed unlikely to happen and completed what we set out to
do. We weathered the storm," says pianist and percussionist Bobby Kuhl.
Guitarist Mike Workman continues, "We enjoy the challenge of telling a story
without the use of words, using only our instruments for expression. Through
this album we hope to share a story...our story. One that describes us coming
together, each bringing their own musical identity and combining these
disparate parts into something beautiful that started out rough, in disarray
and often tumultuous. The story we hope to communicate is one of hope and
perseverance...two aspects that were integral to the album's completion. It
has always been our fundamental goal with Inward Oceans to convey a sense of
peace, hope and wonder through our music."

soul. Massive goosebumps." - Post-Rock Essentials
