Hey Ocean! is releasing a new album tomorrow. I have a feeling that this album is going to be my jam this summer. Of the tracks I’ve heard so far (stream it here) this one is my favorite because it’s in 6/8 and we all know how much of a sucker I am for 6/8. And “ohhhh” harmonies. But there is also a song with one of those african thumb pianos that is so cute too.
Can we just talk about how awesome Ashleigh Ball is for a second? Major girl crush. Ask Ariana about the time she saw her at Sasquatch! and yelled “ASHLEIGH BALL!” at her real loud.
I really like Hey Ocean too, and big fan of Ashleigh Ball too…
…but the out-of-tune flute at the beginning of this song was really unfortunate. The delay pedal is a cool idea, but it hurt to listen to the dissonance. The song got much better when she stopped playing the flute.
Thanks for the link, Sarah Miller. So far this is still my fav – acoustic and unplugged: http://youtu.be/abBpc1LKM6k
Falsehood! I yelled, “HEY OCEAN!!!!!!!!!!” And it was on two separate occasions. She didn’t seem overly impressed by either.
Apologies. I misremembered.
