Painting

Ocean Colour Scene

A collection of concise, melodic vignettes leaning into 1960s pop sensibilities. Warm acoustic textures and soulful vocals create a reflective, pastoral atmosphere.

It's like a collection of sunny 60s pop postcards sent from the modern English countryside.

A gentle, sun-dappled nostalgia that feels both deeply English and musically timeless.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The bright, jangly guitar interplay on the title track that evokes a 1960s pop sensibility.
The transition into the brief, instrumental George’s Tower that acts as a pastoral palate cleanser.
The soulful, piano-driven weight of The New Torch Song that showcases Simon Fowler's maturing vocal range.
