Available on LP and CD.
Acclaimed Irish singer-songwriter Declan O’Rourke releases his eighth studio
album, Oceanic.
Recorded in Sydney, the album marks a profound full-circle moment in O’Rourke’s
life and career – a record shaped not only by place, but by time, memory and return.
Oceanic was recorded with longtime friend and collaborator Jim Moginie (Midnight
Oil) in the role of co-producer and contributing musician.
A confident and carefully shaped record, Oceanic captures a life lived across two
continents and hemispheres. Speaking on the album, O’Rourke explains: “Oceanic
somehow wrote, and then made itself too.
I’ve always felt that being an artist is a process of stripping away layers of yourself
to get to the core. If that’s true, then Oceanic is a collection of dreams that have
surfaced on their own, from among the deepest of my own layers.”
