Chris / Bands, IMF / bravestation / 0 Comments

I’m stoked to be featuring some new music from Toronto duo Bravestation, check out their new spring single, Deeper Than Oceans (AntiFragile/Culvert Music). Deeper Than Oceans is a slow-burning new wave R&B jam laced with a mix of modern and vintage synthesizers, keyboards and drum machines. The song captures the exhilarating feelings and emotions in the early stages of a romance and the love and devotion that ensues when you find your soulmate.

The track was self-produced and mixed by Howie Beck (Feist, Charlotte Day Wilson, River Tiber).
