Their music is dream-like, playful and reminiscent of the ocean. Their album <em>Alien Ocean<\/em> was incredibly marvelous. \u201cOut of the Blue\u201d the title track, is not your typical surf rock song. It\u2019s a bit dark, but with the change in tempos and the melodic harmonious voices of their voices entwined with the turbulent guitar riffs; it creates an oceanic masterpiece that even Ursula would love. \u201cRide the Tide\u201d is a blend of 1950\u2019s doo wop-like vocals with the classic surf rock guitar riff. The song could have been better though, but it definitely gets some points for creativity. \u201cRolling in the Moonshine\u201d was the second best track on the album. The voices harmonized beautifully on this track and it definitely sounded like it came straight out of the 90s. \u201cShe is Gone Again\u201d was the best track on the album. It seemed to have been inspired by the movie Alice in Wonderland. The lead vocals don\u2019t drown out the background vocals and the bass line is simply infectious while the percussion is hypnotic.\u00a0Alien Ocean is a very versatile\/multi-dimensional album that everyone should give a spin or two.<\/p>\n<p><b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: Cults, Cherry Glazerr, Chairlift, Quilt, The Waitresses<br \/>\nRecommended Tracks: 8 (She is Gone Again), 9 (Rolling in the Moonshine), 2 (Skinny Dippin\u2019), 1 (Out of the Blue)<br \/>\nDo Not Play: None<br \/>\nWritten by Tabitha Moore on 09\/29\/2016 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The melodic harmonious voices of their voices entwined with the turbulent guitar riffs; it creates an oceanic masterpiece.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[181],"tags":[5567,5568,5566,5513,1347,5229],"class_list":["post-50303","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-rock-rotation","tag-alien-ocean","tag-brooklyn","tag-crushed-out","tag-new-york","tag-surf-rock","tag-tabitha-moore"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50303","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50303"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50303\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50303"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
