There’s something undeniably hypnotic about the music of Oceanique. In an incredibly short amount of time, the Perth-based sister duo have crafted a sound that feels equal parts grounded and explorative—it’s rooted in indie-folk, but reaches into far wider sonic territories.
With the release of their new single Papier Mâché, the two-piece have immediately established their penchant for crafting endeaingly warm gems of sound. If you’re not already listening to this group, we strongly recommend you change that.
On their new single Papier Mâché, Perth-based sister duo Oceanique craft an immersive and endearing slice of folky listening bliss.
Throughout the new single, Oceanique—made up of twin sisters Maddy and Jess Larkman—entwine elements of folk, pop, and indie-rock to devlop a sound that feels simultaneously familiar and fresh. With rich, textured instrumentation and soaring vocal melodies, Papier Mâché is the kind of track that’ll rope you in and leave you hanging on every word.
Across its three-and-a-half-minute run-time, the track builds steadily into something truly spell-binding. As Maddy and Jess navigate myriad sonic territories, a dreamy kind of folk wonder is woven through earnest lyricism. By the time the song reaches its conclusion, we guarantee you’ll fave fallen in love with Oceanique’s beautifully constructed folk brilliance.
These may still be relatively early days for this Western Australian outfit, but judging by the quality of what we’ve so far, I think we can safely expect plenty more great tunes.
In the meantime, do yourself a favour and listen to the new single above.
