Oceanic – Choral Feeling

Oceanic has made perhaps the best club album of the year so far, especially since »Choral Feeling« ends up on the dancefloor rather by chance than design and uses means that are often a hindrance: voices, lots of voices. Oceanic arranges the vocal contributions of close friends into an unusually maximalist wall of sound, which nonetheless sounds unusually fragile and transfers hyperpop production techniques into the ecstatic logic of house.
