March 15th 2022

EP Release

Helping out with the homelessness crisis

With homelessness being a critical issue facing the UK currently, it is welcome news that Merseyside Indie Dream Pop trio 22 Oceans are raising funds to help the homeless, contributing all Bandcamp proceeds from their new 'Home' EP to Stonepillow, a charity that empowers homeless and vulnerable people, helping them to achieve sustainable independence and wellbeing. Mastered by renowned producer Marc Joy (Primal Scream, Mike Peters, Oasis, Bernard Butler), this EP is out now via 72rpm Records.

Based in Merseyside, 22 Oceans is the brainchild of Mike Guy. Originally a solo project, 22 Oceans has blossomed into a fruitful trio, graced by the vocal and songwriting talents of twin sisters Carys and Keeley Hughes, whose stellar tandem of vocal harmonies complement a backdrop of lush, layered sounds. Since emerging on the indie music scene in 2020, 22 Oceans has been presenting a steady string of new music. While influenced by 80’s influenced SynthPop, their new single brings this artist into new territory while retaining their trademark ethereal vocals.

Earlier, 22 Oceans released the singles 'Drifting' and 'Broken' Feat. Jo Madden. The early 2020 'Butterfly Candy' EP saw Mike Guy collaborate with Wales based dreampop artist Lights that Change, while the subsequent 'Paradise' EP featured Liverpool vocalist Rachael Dunn and also involved Orchestral manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) co-founder and drummer Malcolm Holmes. 'Home' is out now, available as a single across online stores and streaming platforms, including Apple Music and Spotify. The trio is also offering 'Home' as a full five track EP, available both digitally and on CD exclusively via Bandcamp.
