*Approximation of vinyl colour only. Exact colour of product may vary 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.”
