Oceanator, the project of Brooklyn indie rock musician Elise Okusami, has announced her sophomore album, Nothing's Ever Fine, due April 8. The album was co-produced by Bartees Strange, alongside Elise herself and her brother/bandmate Mike Okusami. Elise handled guitars, synths, bass, keys, and vocals, and longtime collaborator Andrew Whitehurst drummed on most songs, and there are also a handful of other cool contributors. Lead single "Bad Brain Daze" features sax by recent tourmate (and Polyvinyl labelmate) Jeff Rosenstock and gang vocals from members of Groupie, Bad Moves, Maneka, The Sonder Bombs, Long Neck, Late Bloomer and Alright. "It’s a chorus of friends all going through it," Elise said. "It felt nice to have that connection, even if it was pieced together with emails of files." - Andrew Sacher (Brooklyn Vegan)
