Album Review
Cerulean retains the glossy, thoroughly pretty ultra-pop feel of Ocean
Blue's self-titled debut, but ends up showcasing some of the band's dreamier
elements as well. The album comes across as a polished-over combination of
the Housemartins and the Cocteau Twins, and it's certainly the most textured
and dreamy of the group's releases. Given the band's strict adherence to
completely melodic pop, though, that doesn't say a whole lot -- their smooth
and pretty songs shine through everything they've done, and to say that
Cerulean is less immediately accessible than Beneath the Rhythm & Sound only
means that its production is a bit more sparkly and washed out. Ocean Blue
are, in many respects, masters of soft, gentle pop, and Cerulean does
nothing to stray from this skill.
