Oceanator - "Beach Days (Alive Again)" from the 2022 album Nothing\'s Ever Fine on Big Scary Monsters.
\\n"By the ocean /
\\nIs where i wanna be /
\\nWhen this all comes to an end"
\\nOn her 2020 debut album Things I Never Said, Brooklyn-based songwriter Oceanator (real name: Elise Okusami) pondered the apocalypse against grungy guitars and Green Day-inspired pop/punk. On her follow-up LP Nothing\\u2019s Ever Fine, she continues to explore similar themes... except on today\'s Song of the Day.
\\n\\u201cI feel like summer is supposed to be the good times,\\u201d she told Under the Radar. \\u201cI wanted to write some songs about some of the good parts of life, and a lot of those are \\u2014 for me at least \\u2014 in the summer.\\u201d
\\nHer sophomore full-length was co-produced by Bartees Strange and her brother, Mike Okusami, who each brought their musical expertise to the table. \\u201cBartees and Michael both have this really extensive knowledge of sound and gear,\\u201d she explained. \\u201cSo, it was extremely helpful to be able to translate what I was saying into sounds. Maybe I could have gotten some of the sounds on my own, but it would have taken like 10 years.\\u201d
