Em novembro do ano passado veio ao mundo Chamber Dreams, primeiro ep do duo Ocean Hope.
Já nos primeiros momentos da abertura The Boy fica nítida a influência primordial deles, Cocteau Twins. É inevitável a comparação, a vocalização e a ambientação tem conexão direta com a mítica banda da 4AD e vai se tornando mais e mais forte durante todo o ep principalmente na angelical Forever.
Deixando as referências de lado, Chamber Dreams é sim uma bela estreia do Ocean Hope e nos guia através de devaneios sonhadores.
