In 2018, they released 'Phanerozoic I: Palaeozoic' – the first half of a sprawling but superbly cohesive palaeontology concept album. On September 25th, 2020, The Ocean released their eagerly-awaited concluding parts of the Phanerozoic journey. The new album 'Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic', divided into two sections - Mesozoic and Cenozoic, is underpinned by some of the most imaginative and challenging music that The Ocean have made yet.
