"The Only Ocean has succeeded in gifting a song that is an encapsulation of even a sliver of that shared emotion. Empathy has never been more unified."
"The Only Ocean's swirling take on indie-rock grabs a page from the urgent neo-shoegazers, psych-rockers and post-punk bands of the Aughts who found catharsis in giant splashes of guitar and choppy rhythms."
"With a steady stream of buzz-worthy singles, EP’s that have received rave reviews, and a new, re-energized line-up, the L.A alternative-rock band The Only Ocean is making waves in L.A’s music scene."
