Originally released in 2010, ‘Self Preserved While The Bodies Float Up’ marked both a culmination & a parting shot – the fourth & final full-length from Oceansize, a band widely regarded as one of the most innovative & uncompromising acts in modern British rock.
Now, fifteen years on, this definitive 3LP edition casts fresh light on the landmark album.
Painstakingly remastered & presented across three black vinyl LPs, this anniversary edition includes around 30 minutes of previously unheard material – six bonus tracks, three of which feature newly recorded vocals by Mike Vennart, offering a rare glimpse into alternate futures that never came to pass.
Far from studio off-cuts, these are fully formed works, some of which now sound eerily prophetic.
“A band that never repeated themselves, yet always sounded like nobody else.” Prog Magazine
