British Prog-rockers Oceansize have called an end to their 13-year reign, due to members wanting to move on to other musical projects and ideas.
With four studio albums under their belt, including their last LP ‘Self Preserved While the Bodies Float Up’, the band announced on their official Facebook page that they would be splitting up.
"We regret to inform you that Oceansize has split up. An explanation for this occurrence is neither forthcoming or indeed necessary. All that remains is to say thank you for being there for us. It's been a very eventful and life-affirming 12 years. We'll miss you. There will be more music from each of us as soon as possible."
The band have written about and linked to their individual new projects on their facebook – Mike Vennart will be working on his venture ‘Hhaitch’, Gambler will be continuing his solo career, and Mark Heron and Steve Hodson both still working on ‘Kong’.
With many members of the band still working with each other on other musical schemes, there is always the possibility of a reunion or comeback tour at some point. But at the moment, it looks like Oceansize fans will be left mourning the loss of the band.
