Oceans Ate Alaska have released a new song titled “Escapist” off their forthcoming album, “Hikari“. The album takes inspiration from Samurai mythology and goes so far as to blend in traditional Japanese instruments throughout the album. Drummer Chris Turner commented:
“We have a huge amount of respect for Japanese culture, especially their music. These unique and beautiful instruments have inspired us to create something brand new, and we are beyond proud of the end result!”
