[News] Kscope to reissue the 2007 album “Frames” by Oceansize on 3xLP

A 2024 Kscope label triple LP reissue of Oceansize’s 2007 classic, “Frames.”

Includes 2 bonus tracks plus an 8-page pull out with an essay and previously unreleased photographs.

A definitive edition of a modern Prog classic.

Oceansize’s Frames was originally released in 2007 and stands as a testament to the UK band’s fearless ambition and uncompromising creativity. The “Frames” sessions marked a turning point for the band, emerging from the shadows of their critically acclaimed yet commercially unfulfilled second album, “Everyone Into Position” (2005). This time, unbound by the pressures of mainstream appeal, Oceansize embraced a newfound freedom, pouring their creative energy into crafting an album that as challenging as it was rewarding. 

From the hypnotic melodies of “Commemorative ___T-Shirt” to the crushing beauty of “Trail of Fire,” “Frames” captures Oceansize at their best, unafraid to explore the highest peaks and darkest depths of their musical ambitions. Recorded predominantly at the iconic Monnow Valley Studios with Chris Sheldon (Foo Fighters, Biffy Clyro, Shed Seven) returning as producer.

This Kscope edition of “Frames” presents the album as it was meant to be heard, on vinyl, where its dynamic range and rich production can truly breathe. The included 8-page pullout offers a deeper look into the band’s creative process during one of their most intense and fruitful periods with an exclusive essay by esteemed journalist Remfry Dedman and previously unseen photographs. Includes the tracks “Red Rag To A Bear” and “Siberian Bullshit,” previously only available on Myspace, as well as the single “Voorhees,” previously only available on CD.
