“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
OCEANIQUE
Winners of the 2022 Folk Alliance Australia ‘Youth Artist of the Year’ Oceanique are a twin sister duo from regional Western Australia. Their songs are full of close harmonies, wonder and warm melodies. The pair sing in tandem, creating layers of continuous vocal harmonies that undulate across a gossamer folk soundscape. A sound that calls to mind the sibling harmonies of First Aid Kit and The Waifs, Oceanique’s music is rich in the folk storytelling tradition, painted lightly with elements of modern musical styles.
Sisters Maddy and Jess have been crafting their unique folk music since 2019, releasing numerous singles and vastly touring their home state and Australia. They’ve supported artists like Emily Barker and Little Quirks and performed at Folk Festivals across Aus, including National Folk Festival, Cygnet Folk Festival and The Australian Folk Music Awards.
In March 2023 Oceanique released their debut album Would The Light Hold Me which received national and international praise, landing them a WAM Song of The Year award nomination, RTRfm's Feature album, Bandcamp's New and Notable feature and LP reviews from the US and UK.
Celtic-inspired instrumentation, delicate harmonies, and reflective lyrics abound on the sisterly indie-folk duo's debut album. Oceanique are a special find in an ocean full of art - the twin sister synergy is so clear you can not only hear their connection, but you can really feel it.
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.
