Dark Ocean (Acoustic)

(Sophie Ilys with Andre Vleisides on keys)
Dark Ocean gives desire a voice. It is an invitation to leave the shore of convention and get swept away by a quest to follow your inner desires. A dark progressive house track, it places sultry vocals over a driving bassline that feels like a cold, foggy cliff overlooking an angry pacific ocean.
After a conversation about alternative lifestyles with Caleb Hudson and deciding to turn it into a song, Caleb had the crazy idea to pitch it to Sophie Ilys, usually an indie singer songwriter, who loved the idea. With that excitement and the keys of Andre Vleisides and some sounds by Bert Elliott and we put together Dark Ocean! We were all drawn to our own version of an alternative life (gay, quitting their day job or living in a yurt) so wanted to make sure the song spoke to anyone struggling between their calling and the conventions they grew up with.
