about

Bass guitar : Christophe Gervais
Guitar / vocals : Nicolas Albin
Recorded & produced by Ocean Closer between October 2023 & January 2024

These five covers were initially a sort of warm up to learn how to play together right after the band was created. That's why we didn't try to re-create the songs and chose to stick to the originals. A carbon copy, a fac simile... For fun, we decided to record them. As long as the tracks were being produced, we thought they were good enough to be published. That's what you have here.
