Captain Sunshine - The Ocean Inside
Review by Christophe Vix-Gras
The album "The Ocean Inside" by Captain Sunshine is a mesmerizing blend of indie rock and dream pop that captures the essence of the ocean in its ethereal soundscapes. From the opening track "Sail Away" to the closing track "Driftwood," the album takes listeners on a journey through the vast expanse of the sea, exploring its mysteries and depths.
The vocals of lead singer Captain Sunshine are hauntingly beautiful, floating above the shimmering guitars and pulsating rhythms. The lyrics are poetic and introspective, exploring themes of love, loss, and self-discovery.
Standout tracks include "Waves," with its driving beat and soaring chorus, and "Deep Blue," which features a haunting melody and lush instrumentation. "The Ocean Inside" is a cohesive and well-crafted album that showcases the band's talent and creativity.

Notes
- Captain Sunshine is the alias of Jon Tye, one half of revered cosmic quakers Seahawks. The style shares many of Seahawks deep space aquatic vibes but is if anything even more salt washed and faded, spaced and misted.
- The Ocean Inside was recorded alone during a particularly long and dark winter voyage. A dose of flu helped create a deep dream state, sometimes unsettling at others blissfully narcotic. The analog tape recordings were later cut and spliced together with occasional overdubs of guitar and vocal to form a collection of celestial tone poems that at times recall early Eno, Vangelis, Joe Meek’s ‘I Hear A New World’ or even Aphex Twin’s selected ambient works.
- Deep and meditative, warm and enveloping, this is a great album to put on of a clear evening as you stare at the stars, watch the distant ships bobbing on the waves or simply zone out in your favourite place.
