"'Lost In Blue' is a much more introspective and personal song, reminiscent of our debut album," comments band leader Tymon Kruidenier. "I prefer not to divulge too much about my lyrics; I’d rather let the listener form their own interpretation. So, staying true to that, I’ll leave the meaning open-ended and instead focus on the music. The musical embryo for this song actually came from Robin, specifically the alternating C major to B major progression. I built the rest of the song around that idea. For the instrumental section, I wanted to try something we hadn’t done before: a dual bass/guitar solo. In line with the song’s lyrical theme, I envisioned the bass and guitar parts dancing around each other, creating a sense of entanglement and interplay. It ultimately didn’t end up sounding much like a traditional solo, but I love how it turned out regardless."
On Right Here, Right Now, Our Oceans unveil a brighter, more exhilarating sonic landscape while maintaining the evocative emotional depth that has become their hallmark. Inspired by the "bright quality of the now," the band from the Netherlands crafts a richly layered musical journey filled with lush harmonies and uplifting atmospheres. The album captures the vibrancy of the present moment, blending intricate musicianship with an infectious sense of optimism.
"I’m incredibly proud of our previous album, but it’s a bit of a bitter pill to swallow," continues singer and guitarist Tymon Kruidenier. "This time around, I also felt the need to return to the creative philosophy behind the first Our Oceans album: simply letting things flow. Instead of steering the process or clinging to preconceived ideas of what the music should be, I wanted to trust in an open and unrestricted creative approach, allowing the songs to take shape naturally. It all started with the chorus for what became the album’s first track, 'Golden Rain'. From there, everything came together in what felt like one effortless flow state that lasted for a month or two. I think this resulted in a collection of songs that feel balanced and cohesive, yet diverse and playful."
