Taken from Slothrust's highly-anticipated fifth album Parallel Timeline, new single ‘Once More For The Ocean’ is the next step in the band's ever-so-sunny evolution.

Drifting through layers of lo-fi beach rock and searing guitar-centric melodies, this tune was made for woozy nights in July, spent either on the beach or… come to think of it just the beach. But the magic of this track lies in its ability to transport you straight to the ocean, placing you down on a sandy shore somewhere you’re not quite familiar with, but you’re more than happy to stay.

 On the track, bandleader Leah Wellbaum has said:

“This song felt like it was handed to me by the ocean. It came to me when I was sitting on some rocks and staring at one of my favorite oceans in the world, on Star Island off the coast of Rye, New Hampshire. The bass line arrived first, and then the melody and the lyrics came at the same time. I didn’t have an instrument with me that week so I sang what I had into my phone notes and carried on with my day, almost forgetting about it entirely. I have a unique relationship with this song because it felt like it came through me more than from me, though I recognize that really there is no difference. It is not the easiest song to sing or explain. At times I even wondered if it might be suited for a different artist. However after sitting with it for a while I have come to the conclusion that this song was meant for me and it is about the search for a greater consciousness in times of chaos. For me that feeling of oneness often shows up when I am spending time in nature.”
