KILLER WHALE
Ocean Blood
"Last December, Thomas Johnson quietly released Ocean Blood—a new album from his Killer Whale moniker. It’s freak folk of the finest order, a long player that’s comfortable in its lonely skin and peculiarities. The title track is made of the greatness that Justin Vernon of Bon Iver used to release. The next track goes into a synth-propelled jam that lasts a minute. What’s bothersome is that this music deserves more than a late-year release. Mr. Johnson, if you’re reading, come on out from the bedroom recording station. You have reason to celebrate. This is one helluva release that would sit comfortably next to the Matthew E. Whites, Liam Finns and other celebrated singer-songwriters of today."
