A Unicorn 05:47
I hear knocking on my door all night its traces I follow into solitude far in the wild we fly off to China and back to France and from his back I wish I could see the world, collapse I’m locked up in chambers of an imagined place and I ‘ve been trapped up in a Cyclons’s eye where I play dead Just come release me You must have seen me out there in the rain You must have seen me out there in your way Come and pull me out of this world
2.
floating out of time sinking into a sea of light tearing years inside breathing in - storming out come on and hold me tightly love me violently feel the aching is this the end? Are you coming home tonight? υπάρχει ένα όνειρο και μέσα στο όνειρο αυτό ξυπνώ απόψε όλα τα βλέμματα όλες οι λέξεις συμβαίνουν πρώτη φορά όλα κυλούν σαν βουβή ταινία από μακριά ακούγεται μόνο από μακριά ένας παλμός αν θα μπορούσα να αφεθώ σ' αυτό που ηχεί στην καρδιά μου αν όλοι οι δρόμοι μάς γύριζαν πίσω στην αρχή στη σιωπή αν όλοι οι δρόμοι μάς τράβαγαν πίσω αν όλοι οι δρόμοι μάς έφερναν πίσω όλα τα βλέμματα όλες οι λέξεις και οι ανάσες θα ράγιζαν μέσα μας ό,τι παλιό

U N I 04:45
Σου γράφω από μια σφαίρα γεμάτη φως από την ώρα που έφυγες και ξέχασες εκείνες τις γαλάζιες μπότες κανένας δεν υπάρχει πια κανένας U and I will be like one if we cross a thousand miles and swim in a million dreams if we stand side by side and dive into diamond deeps U and I will be like one death will be no more Death.

Genesi 06:48
Whispers cracks on ice fields ancient fires deep black holes hammers inside my mind there is no going back I’m coming out in disguise flowers grow in the sky
5.
Where am I? from where do I return? all I can feel Is my heart that bursts inside a dream now I can see Giants, walk on the earth building the songs of tales the songs of tales
6.
I might be insane to walk in the past and haunt you I wish for a sign holding inside the force of silence i am part of the ocean a fragment of night the force of silence I am part of the ocean a blast in the wild the force of silence
7.
στην άκρη του κόσμου ταξιδεύω για να βρω την άλλη όχθη, πέρα απ’ τον ωκεανό ταξιδεύουνε μαζί μου άγρια πουλιά που νομίζω ψάχνουν να με πάρουν αγκαλιά υφαίνω τις όχθες σκορπίζω το φως διαστέλλω το σώμα αγγίζω τις άκρες διασχίζω τις λέξεις ραγίζω το βάθος βυθίζω τις ώρες ανατέλλω μακριά

about

“Ocean Highway” is the first full length album of Okeano, a group of incredible musicians from Athens Greece.

“Ocean Highway” is their first album consisting of seven songs, influenced by artists like Sigur Rós as well as ambient and music for theater and movies.
Okeano are Apostolos Lagarias on piano and guitar, Christie Rok on vocals, Emi Path on drones and vocal layers and George Karanikolaou on drums.

The piano becomes the center of musical attention as it creates the core melodies and atmosphere of each song. Lagarias (a published author in Greece), also proves his writing skills by providing the songs with their dreamlike poetic lyrics. Christie Rok’s vocal performances are an equally crucial part of the album. Her experience as an actor leaves a deep mark on the way she takes words and turns them into feelings.

Emi Path’s drones and background vocals add a layer of emotion and atmosphere to the music, complementing and adding complexity to the compositions. The sparse but impactful drums played by George Karanikolaou provide the album with some intense moments where the group lets loose and experiments with noise like towards the end of “Mariana Trench”. Finally, the production and mixing by Theodore Zefkilis brings all of these elements masterfully together shaping the sound of the album.

Inspired by a journey to the Atlantic Ocean, “Ocean Highway” seeks to convey the feeling of letting the mind travel while watching the waves dance. Like a summer midday nap where the listener is half awake and half asleep; watching dream and reality blend together, the music in “Ocean Highway” takes us on a journey of exploring our own thoughts and feelings through its creators’ unique point of view.
