Album Review: The Boxer Rebellion - Ocean By Ocean

The British lads have created a masterpiece with their fifth studio album; it's like a wine that only gets better with age.

Single Big Ideas is playful with the opening echo before lead singer Nathan Nicholson's vocals sweep you off your feet with romantic lyrics. Lyrically the album is raw especially with intimate songs like Keep Me Close, questioning things and letting one's guard down and opening up to someone else. The album explores the deep darker sides of life, while still exposing beautiful light and joy — the words just roll of Nicholson's tongue.
