Hey Ocean | A Song About California

// February 27th, 2009 // Video

Over this past month we’ve been taking a look at a few bands that are performing at SXSW this year.  One of the bands that caught our attention was, Hey Ocean!.  Hey Ocean! are a Indie/Pop/Funk band from Canada.  While the above video may seem like polished pop, there are so many elements being poured into this song.  From folk, jazz, funk, hip hop, to pop.  After downloading a couple of their tracks from their 2008, It’s Easier To Be Somebody Else, we are impressed.  Lyrically driven songs with just the right amount of harmonies.  If your heading to the SXSW, check these guys out.

    I’ve seen these guys (and gal) play in LA before, and they were amazing. Definitely not to be missed at SXSW!
