Before The Ocean Floor’s show at Rontom’s last week, I got a chance to sit down with them and talk about their projects, their sound and which artists they like the best.

I hope I get to see The Ocean Floor in a venue more suited to their element, which is quiet and contemplative while being joyful and fun.

Here’s something cool for everyone in New Zealand. The Ocean Floor is embarking on a tour there! Here’s a list of upcoming dates:
