The Ocean of the Sky

The Used

A murky, experimental detour into ambient noise and lo-fi psychedelia. Far from their radio hits, this is a submerged and haunting sonic fever dream.

It's like The Used recorded a noise-rock album at the bottom of a very dark lake.

A disorienting and submerged descent into experimental noise and existential drift.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring transition from the garage-rock energy of Iddy Biddy into the murky, submerged soundscape of Quixotica.
The way the title track dissolves into nearly eight minutes of swirling, oceanic noise and distant vocal echoes.
The twenty-minute endurance test of Tethys, where melodic fragments struggle to surface through a dense wall of ambient grit.
