The end of The Ocean’s 2023 album Holocene concludes with a bleak vision of a dystopian landscape on Earth, depleted and uninhabitable. The only option to ensure survival is a drastic course of action; one that signals a new era: the creation of new, artificial worlds with living conditions resembling those on Earth. Human intelligence forms the foundation of technological progress; yet it is precisely this progress that inevitably leads to self-destruction. As rational beings, we are fundamentally just as capable of initiating our own extinction as we are of preventing it.
Since the release of Holocene, The Ocean itself has gone through radical changes, and the arrival of a new album in the shape of Solaris signals the beginning of a new era for
the band.
2LP, gatefold sleeve with extended spine, printed on Performa Cream 360 g/sm cardboard with metallic red hot foil embossing on front & back, printed inner sleeves and an A2 poster.
