This prolific electronic musician dabbles not only in gorgeous ambiance and emotional electronica but also in soundtracks, deep house, and much more. Just today, I was trying to absorb the latest album by <strong>bvdub<\/strong> titled <em>Farewell<\/em>, released on\u00a0<strong>Silent Reign<\/strong> \u2013 yet another outlet for Brock\u2019s relentless output. The most \u201cannoying\u201d thing for me is that I truly think that it\u2019s all great. So how do I pick a favourite, or highlight an album in this column that I think you should pick up? Thankfully [for me], this write-up is not about bvdub. It\u2019s not even about his other moniker,\u00a0<strong>Earth House Hold. <\/strong>Today we\u2019re spending time with\u00a0<strong>East Of Oceans<\/strong> \u2013 a somewhat elusive project that surfaces every few years (as opposed to every month). The thing with Brock is \u2014 if you know, you know \u2014 it doesn\u2019t matter whether he changes the genre, or the bpm, throws in some vocals or some beats. At the heart of each piece is still that person that I know on the inside, even with all of his imposing looks [tattoos and all] on the outside. Yes, as Brock writes on his Bandcamp, there is plenty of pure happiness, pure joy, and pure everything all at once. But even as he attempts to throw at me everything that could possibly encompass this fantastic artist, all of the insane, overclocked, and broken rhythms, all of the deep, rumbling, and distorted basslines, all of the distant chords, jumbled up lyrics, and sped-up loops, with tracks that scream for my attention with their everything and all at once, beneath the thick sonic layers, beneath the twitchy grime and face-planted slab of sound, it\u2019s still profoundly touching, very much vulnerable, and maybe even sad. And that\u2019s what <em>Ride or Die<\/em> is all about. At least for me\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have already proclaimed on more than one occasion that it is impossible to keep up with the output of Brock Van Wey.
