One from the Modern (RSD 2020) - Ocean Colour Scene [VINYL]

The fourth Ocean Colour Scene album was a slight departure from the band's previous two albums, with a more reflective, soulful and pastoral sound as well as a more political slant, albeit with a late-'60s psychedelic slant, reminiscent of The Byrds, Small Faces or later-period Beatles. The whole album still retains the band's trademark melodic style, with a refined, rich sound that gives the material a contemporary twist, avoiding the pitfalls of relying on a merely nostalgic or 'retro' orientated approach. The album includes three hit singles - the protest song 'Profit in Peace', followed by the more classic OCS sound of 'So Low' and double 'A' side - 'I Am the News'/'July'. The album was produced by Brendan Lynch and the song 'Soul Driver' is dedicated to Paul Weller, who mentored the band. Weller sings backing vocals on the track 'No One at All'. Remastered at Abbey Road, the album is released here on two heavyweight green vinyl discs.
