Promissing...


Armed with his guitar and tied to some urban simplicity, a boy draws in coal a black and white EP. There is no will to make something sublime, just the need of creation and the urgency of displaying it.

Although he has other projects (Landfill and Long Desert Cowboy), Oceansea is the name of this solo project by Daniel Catarino, and the EP Songs From The Bedroom Floor… is its first work. Recorded simply and without any hidden devices or schemes, Songs From The Bedroom Floor… reflects the typical calm mood of the ones who share lost worlds, universes of wandering voices and melancholic guitar pickings. Songs From The Bedroom Floor… is a growing work, it subtly feeds the ego of the listener.

The gentle whisper of “The Whimsical River comes with the rise of the ocean fog; it’s a mixture of folk preaching with singing. “Breathing” has an indestructible power of will, a statement screamed softly. The day is already up and running when “Over The Sun” strengthens its glow, proving that Man doesn’t feed exclusively on the sun. “Seasons In The Rain” is shaped in the same way, overdubbed vocals, precise guitar work. “Postcards From The Walls Of Sin” is a delicious song, graceful, dragged along some minutes, hungry for freedom, wanting to leave, and it definitely wishes to fly far away.

In the same way that Songs From The Bedroom Floor… sins by being short, there is a feeling in the air of duty accomplished, the work proposal was completed and well achieved, and it’s probably the intention of it, it’s just that I wanted a little bit more.

This is the type of music you listen to when you just wanna chill and have a feel good time. Just a shame there are so few songs on this album and I'm really looking forward to the next album.

Very pleasant album. Actual music - for all times. Easy, harmoniously and beautifully.

29/08/08

Some beautiful lyrics with simple music.
It may sound a little like Elliot Smith, but who cares? Good stuff.

Why do people keep on copying the music of dead people??

I enjoyed listening to this album. I particularly liked "The Whimsical River". Nice work dude. Keep it up!

surprise surprise, after listening to these amazing songs and capturing what seemed to be really poetic lyrics, I find out that it is a portuguese fellow just like me who wrote them.
there are really good songs here, pearls floating down the whimsical river of the huge stream of music that my computer has nowadays.
personal favourite is seasons in the rain, but postcards from the walls of sin has really good words and a very nice flow.
keep going mate, or should I say, segue em frente rapaz.

Reminds me of great 1960's music in a way. Not only well written, but also well performed. Tracks 2 & 5 are superb. Nice work!

06/08/08

The first song is the best of this short collection, the voice and guitar sound are clear. But all next songs are worse, in the third is voice badly out of tune. And in the fifth song the guitar is murmured and the voice isn't in the key, too.

In the mood it's a bit like Kings of Convenience, but there's a long way to their workmanship.
