Illus Ocean, who has 3 new albums (in different forms) coming soon, shared this preview of his twisted covers album (maybe all Olivia Newton John?). It is a frighteningly awesome version of the O.N.J. tune Magic. No word on who the duet partner is or why Mr. Ocean is rollerskating shirtless with beer and axe but hey, that’s how Illus rolls.

Alchemist Video Series1: Illus Ocean
Saturday, May 21st, 2011Illus Ocean (aka Christopher Gomez) went well beyond the call of duty with this one. The out of sync timing, the comic theme and definitely the bathrobe scene make it totally NSFW. Apparently he edited out some of the even more sexy version. Mr. Ocean has 3 new albums coming your way including one that is purported to be a free album of Olivia Newton John covers! More on all of that soon, for now feast your eyes.

Monday, March 29th, 2010Tomorrow’s the day when Illus Ocean’s debut will hit the digital shelves and we’ll also have a limited edition CD for sale direct from us. The links should be up some time tomorrow and you can stream the whole album here. It’s definitely something you don’t want to miss. 
Eternal
Saturday, March 27th, 2010Here’s one more Illus Ocean track before Tuesday’s release. This one you won’t find on any blogs (not yet at least) and it’s called “Eternal”. In the album liner notes Illus Ocean himself had this to say about the track: “inspired by a robert heinlein story called ” all you zombies” it’s about a time loop where a transgender impregnates it’s self and then the child is also a hermaphrodite who grows up as a woman and then gets pregnant by a stranger and the whole thing just keeps looping. or something like that.” All that in under a minute and a half.

Ground Zero
Thursday, March 25th, 2010Some tracks from Illus Ocean’s debut are starting to trickle out on the Interwebs so we thought we’d put them up here. The first is the plaintive and soulful “Ground Zero” which showcases Ocean’s ability to craft something quite singular and fresh while nodding to the past.
