“Think of the Ocean” is the opening track for the album, a spare song of pulsating beats and Remiddi’s own intertwining vocals. The video is a wavering shot as we look over a woman’s shoulder as she looks at a black slate, simple yet striking visuals that allows the focus to be on the music. After 2012’s Strange Weekend, Remiddi sold off all his instruments in order to create, in his words, “a new color palette.” He also enlisted Jonny Rogoff (of Yuck) on drums, Darcy Cicci (of The Antlers) on bass and Gaspar Claus on cello (a collaborator with Sufjan Stevens and The National).
