Berlin Post-Rock powerhouse The Ocean (Collective) have shared a pulsing remix of ‘Boreal’, taken from their ambitious 9th studio album ‘Holocene’, by the critically-acclaimed Parisian electro and dark wave producer SIERRA. The second of two collaborative, mutual remixes between The Ocean and SIERRA, ‘Boreal (SIERRA REMIX)’ follows The Ocean’s creative full-band reimagining based on the original stems of ‘Traum’, taken from SIERRA’s 2023 album, ‘A Story of Anger’. SIERRA’s response pushes the mighty sound of ‘Boreal’ to deeper electronic depths as pounding drums herald a tidal wave of bit-crushed sub bass and glacial synth-scapes before drifting unsettlingly into the dark. Both tracks are now available to preorder as a limited edition split 7” exclusively through the direct web shop of The Ocean’s own Pelagic Records; charting an intriguing and promising trajectory for two acts at the cutting edge of two very different musical worlds.
