Oceansongs Discography
FrankenClime
FrankenClime, the Jim Ocean Band's inaugural LP, is a satirical rock ‘n’ roll monster mash with in-your-face energy and contagious hooks to underscore the environmental challenges of the times.
Pop Tunes for Mystics
This solo album was inspired by Nick Drake’s Five Leaves Left. Pop Tunes for Mystics is an album for long drives in the country, watching the sun come up, or late-night meditations on the stars.
Fear and Love
Fear and Love was recorded by Jim Ocean’s former band, the Dogmatics, in Nashville, TN. The Dogmatics was comprised of singer/songwriters Jim Ocean, Randy Anger and Sarah Reynolds and was accompanied by the Grand Ole Opry’s house band, which included musicians Kerry Marx, John Gardner, Bob Patin and Byron House.
The "Astronaut Lullabies" Soundtrack
Astronaut Lullabies is a partial soundtrack to the Oceans' immersive telescope star parties and planetarium experiences that feature live performances of their thought-rocking collection of “space music”.
Macro2Micro
The Oceans’ Macro2Micro collection represents a genre they call “poetic science”. The songs use recent scientific discovery as a metaphorical launching point to explore the nuances of being human in the interesting times we all find ourselves in.

The Rise and Fall of Practically Everything was recorded by the first incarnation of Jim Ocean’s musical satire group, Celtic Elvis. The album was recorded at Emerald City Studio in San Francisco by the acclaimed engineer, Gary Mankin.
