Ocean Roar is the second of a pair of albums Phil Elverum recorded on extended break from tour. May's Clear Moon was a dreamy fantasia about home. The midnight-black Ocean Roar, meanwhile, is an experiment in imagined homelessness: It has a facing-the-beast quality of a punishing spiritual quest.
The second Phil Elverum album of 2012 works both as a companion and a contrast to Clear Moon, and ranks as one of the strongest records in his expansive catalogue.
Ocean Roar is the second in a two-part release from Phil Elverum this year, the companion to Clear Moon.
