"Oceans with No End" is a single by the American synthpop band Cold Cave. The single was released in 2013 through Deathwish Inc. — a label co-founded by Jacob Bannon of Converge.[4] "Oceans with No End" was also the first release from the band following the death of former Cold Cave contributor Justin Benoit.[5][6][7]
Critical reception
In his track review, Ian Cohen of Pitchfork wrote that "the track draws from Cherish the Light Years ' potent and extremely loud alchemy of goth-rock and jock-jams." He also stated: "Befitting its lower-stakes release, "Oceans with No End" is a little more brittle and streamlined than "The Great Pan Is Dead", but it regardless captures that all-consuming sense of ambition and yearning contained within the latter."[2] On the b-side "People Are Poison", Cohen also stated: " 'People ' allows a more exploratory approach to finding new angles on tried and true influences, turning the shuffle in DM's ten-gallon hat goth into something more linear while adding the grainy, brittle distortion of early Jesus and Mary Chain."[3]
