About 'Oceans'
'Oceans’ is filled with songs that mark a specific season of the year, and harkens back to certain memories of love, loss, and growth. Inspired by the theme of circles and cycles, the protagonist of ‘Oceans’ takes shape the form of a Lion, who gains courage with each turn of the season, and in its finality, a sense of renewal, quiet and calm.
Eschewing the straightforward sounds on debut album ‘Antiphobic’, DEON’s pop-rock sensibilities find new emotional clarity with ‘Oceans’, awash with lush post-rock soundscapes and ambient electronic elements. Mostly conceived in Reykjavík, Toronto, and Liverpool, the songs recall the skittering folktronica of Ásgeir, while channelling the warm, soulful melodies of his favourite songstresses in Brooke Fraser, and Rachael Yamagata.
