‘ocean blues’ by dayaway | Look Out For More New Music Coming Soon
Exclusive track premiere of ‘ocean blues’ by dayaway, a dreamy indie-pop project of Amber Renee and Graham Marsh of CLAVVS.
Opening with shimmering slide guitars and enveloped in lush instrumentation, ‘ocean blues’ is a song concerned with forbidden desire. As Amber wrote of the track: “There is a pleasure in longing that I think is inherent to the female gaze. This song dives into the idea that longing can be enough. The ocean often represents love in my songwriting— it’s this vast, unknowable, mysterious thing. So to have the ocean blues is to be lovesick, to want someone that you just can’t have. ‘ocean blues’ is about letting it be enough to love from a distance, knowing you’ll never have more than that, and being satisfied in the wanting.”
This new track follows dayaway’s latest single release, ‘hot blue summer,’ an indie bop with hazy guitars, dusty drums, and the duo’s signature hooky melodies.
