Okeano are a band from Greece that plays a mixture of ambient, soundtrack and drone and this is a review of their 2022 album "Ocean Highway" which was released by Submersion Records.
Atmospheric sounding drones start off the album along with some female vocals a few seconds later. Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while tragic sounding pianos can also be heard at times as well as clean guitars also being utilized quite a bit throughout the recording and the music also captures the atmosphere of a film soundtrack.
When synths are utilized they also bring in elements of ambient while all of the tracks also sound very different from each other. At times the music also gets very experimental sounding along with some songs also adding in a small amount of spoken word parts, the drum beats also give the songs more of a tribal feeling when they are utilized and as the album progresses a brief use of electric guitars can also be heard.
Okeano plays a musical style that takes ambient, soundtrack, drone and experimental and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover the ocean, dreams and poetry themes.
In my opinion Okeano are a very great sounding mixture of ambient, soundtrack, drone and experimental and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "A Unicorn" "Genesi" and "Mariana Trench". 8 out of 10.
