Randomly stumbled on Ozean, a shoegaze / dreampop band from 1991 based out of San Jose. They played exactly one show and only three songs from their demo recordings have made their way out into the world - just enough to make the vinyl pressing go for $400.
Generally, I would say such a backstory was completely absurd as it sounds exactly like something an elitist record store clerk from High Fidelity would say. But listening to the recordings... they're good. Real good. Exactly what you want from a shoegaze / dreampop band from the early 90's.There was certainly some magic happening with the foursome that made the songs.
There's a 2017 interview with members Eric Shea and Lisa Baer talking about the history of the project, the surprise success of its Internet unearthing and what they may be up to next. Baer says she is going to Nashville to record vocals for the first time since the Ozean project, 25 years later. She does not say for what project specifically. A shame really because I'd love to hear that too.
