Oceansize's 'Frames' was originally released in 2007 & stands as a testament to the UK band's fearless ambition & uncompromising creativity. The 'Frames' sessions marked a turning point for the band, emerging from the shadows of their critically acclaimed yet commercially unfulflled second album, 'Everyone Into Position' (2005). This time, unbound by the pressures of mainstream appeal, Oceansize embraced a newfound freedom, pouring their creative energy into crafting an album that is as challenging as it is rewarding. The result? A record that revels in its expansive, cinematic scope. From the hypnotic melodies of "Commemorative ___T-Shirt" to the crushing beauty of "Trail of Fire," Frames captures Oceansize at their best, unafraid to explore the highest peaks and darkest depths of their musical ambitions. Recorded predominantly at the iconic Monnow Valley Studios with Chris Sheldon (Foo Fighters, Biffy Clyro, Shed Seven) returning as producer, Frames has a timeless quality that sounds as fresh now as it did 17 years ago. This Kscope edition of Frames presents the album as it was meant to be heard, on vinyl, where its dynamic range and rich production can truly breathe. The included eight-page pullout offers a deeper look into the band's creative process during one of their most intense and fruitful periods with an exclusive essay by esteemed journalist Remfry Dedman and previously unseen photographs. Includes the tracks "Red Rag to a Bear" and "Siberian Bullshit," previously only available on Myspace, as well as the single "Voorhees," previously only available on CD. This definitive edition of Frames brings new life to a modern prog-rock classic.
