Worth band Washing Machine, this album is a major trip!  Lovers of lo-fi garage pop will really dig it but it contains a little something for everyone.  Imagine David Bowie, Roger Waters and The Cure collaborating with The Beatles (ca. Magical Mystery Tour) and you might start to get an idea of what to expect.  It doesn’t take itself to seriously and is humorous at times but also contains deep emotion, darkness and depth.  The man behind Illus Ocean is somewhat elusive but we will endeavor to give you more details soon.
