the full stories behind every one

the new single

oceansweeper

Three years, three recording sessions, and three long breaks later, Downcoast finally presents “Oceansweeper.” It’s our longest song by a mile, and we’re immensely proud of how it came out. Psych-prog jams unlike anything we’ve ever done before or since.

We hope it’s the fastest eight and a half minutes of your life, or your money back!
