“I hope you get the chance to check out Oceanique, a beautiful sister duo from Western Australia” - Vikki Thorn (The Waifs) At National Folk Festival
Hailing from the deep south of regional Western Australia, Oceanique combines close harmonies, wonder and warm melodies leaving you with the feeling of staring up at a big blue country sky. Now based in Melbourne/Naarm, twin sisters Maddy and Jess craft music rich in the folk storytelling tradition with seamless blood harmonies and reflective lyrics. A sound that calls to mind the sibling harmonies of First Aid Kit and The Waifs.
Oceanique were awarded Folk Alliance Australia’s ‘Youth Artist of the Year’ (2022), welcoming them into the arms of the Australian folk music community, seeing them playing some of Australia's most prestigious folk festivals, National Folk Festival, Woodford Folk Festival and Nannup Music Festival. Oceanique released their debut album ‘Would The Light Hold Me’ in March 2023 which received national and international praise. Described by Triple J’s Anika Luna as “a special find in an ocean full of art.” Oceanique have the magic of being able to evoke images of time and place in their music, as you dig into the texture of their song writing, the images they create with their aural tapestry come into clearer focus.
“All eleven tracks that make up Would The Light Hold Me feature the pair singing in tandem, creating layers of continuous vocal harmonies that undulate across a gossamer folk soundscape.” - RTR Local Feature Album
“Oceanique can make you tremble with warm memories, and drop you to your knees with invocation. MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and certainly a TOP CHOICE of mine for the 2023 list.” - Lee Henderson, Big Beautiful Noise (US)
“Oceanique are a special find in an ocean full of art - the twin sister synergy is so clear and you can not only hear their connection, but you can really feel it! This is so special <3” - Anika Luna, triple j unearthed
“Oceanique have got it” - Henry Wagons, Double J
