STUDIO 01: The Only Ocean Interview

Published: Dec. 6, 2020, 5:36 a.m.

On the twenty-second episode of the video call interview series, Host Jibril Osman sits down with Wesley Hill of rising Los Angeles atmospheric alternative-rock quartet, The Only Ocean. Formed in Lompoc, CA during Wesley’s high school days, the band has evolved from an auspicious bedroom solo-project to a flourishing four-piece that has carved out its own unique place within the sea of playlists and festival stages in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara, eventually settling further south in Los Angeles, where all four members grew up. The Only Ocean's sound has continued to evolve and diversify with the addition of new band-mates: Guitarist Tamara Simons, drummer Jonathan Palmquist, and bassist Jordan Kaufman. In 2015, The Only Ocean released their self-titled debut. Recently, the group released a new single and music video titled "Watch It Fall."
