Coppice Halifax - Ocean Lion (II)

Not to be confused with the first Ocean Lion album (MMD002), this is the second album of the Ocean Lion set. Tropically oceanic, sunny and psychedelic as ever, this album is probably one of the best things I think I've done under the Coppice Halifax name. Where the first Ocean Lion was full of muted, elongated tones, this one brings more melody to the forefront, while still filled to the brim with a curtain of dense atmospherics. Loads of bass and deep repetitive grooves, covered in field recordings of the beach. Limited to 50!

As with the first Ocean Lion album, the second one also comes with an EP companion. Two tracks on the more ambient side of the Ocean Lion spectrum, one with twinkling drips of starlike notes over a longing pedalbass, and the other a disembodied still-life depicting a weary traveler, lost at sea. Limited to 50.
