#353: The Ocean's Robin Staps

The Ocean mastermind Robin Staps is back on the show to discuss the
band's new album, Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic|Cenozoic. Robin
discusses how the two Phanerozoic albums sound completely different
despite being recorded at the same time, Jonas from Katatonia's
guest appearance, the difficultly in finding fossils for the box
set version of the album, and how he predicted the future with
regards to Covid-19 in The Ocean's Collective Oblivion DVD,
released in 2013. Robin also shares his thoughts on Pelagial making
some best-of-decade lists, the delayed recognition that record got
from his fanbase, and the importance of his father being a jazz
musician in his musical path. Petar, Brandon, and Jozalyn discuss
recording the podcast on Petar’s 40th birthday, and the untimely
death of Power Trip's Riley Gale. Songs: The Ocean -
“Jurassic/Cretaceous" (featuring. Jonas Renske of Katatonia), Varg
