Ocna reveals refreshing debut single ‘Can’t’
Ocna are a fresh and exciting new experimental indie band formed in Brighton in 2019.
The English and Swedish ensemble share a love of electronic music and of going beyond the norm of what you hear day to day.
Karl Nilsson produces the band’s work, with instrumentalist and writer Dale Hudson, drummer Matt Burns and vocalist Fiona Robertson rounding out this interesting quartet.
After composing and recording throughout lockdown and beyond, they have now found a sound they can reside with and unveil their debut single
“Can’t” feels like the perfect introduction to Ocna. A dark and slightly sinister undertone weaves throughout, with Robertson’s vocals extremely powerful yet possessing a haunting delivery.
It’s a deeply immersive and mesmerising offering from the four-piece, with heavy influences from 80s music such as Joy Division also seeping through, alongside swirling synthesisers and guitar lines that bring it back to the modern day.
Ocna have made their mark with “Can’t”, delving into the electronic genre and coming out with a potent alternative indie track that transcends and takes you to another place.
They combine major- and minor-chord atmospherics seemingly without effort, which could be the most impressive element of their craft.
Be sure to keep an eye out for this upcoming outfit, as this is only the start for Ocna.
