Marine electronica’s boundary-pushing visionary Oxis returns with her new album Oxis 8, released via Boom Records. Across eight immersive tracks, the artist continues to build her unique aquatic-inspired sonic world, introducing listeners to an ever-growing school of musical “fish friends,” including previously shared singles “Fingerling,” “Guili,” “Piranha,” and “Fry,” which have earned praise from Pigeons & Planes, Stereogum, and more.
The Oxis series represents a daring exploration of heightened emotions, capturing the intensity of coming-of-age moments like lightning in a bottle. Her music navigates the delicate balance between vulnerability and exhilaration, probing the spectrum of human experience with a grounded realism beyond her years. Reflecting on the ethos behind Oxis 8, she notes, “The pain and beauty of it all is that nothing is constant, and when something feels sensitive and powerful you have to bite at it quickly, or else it disappears.” To build anticipation for the release, Oxis performed intimate, stripped-down versions of “Piranha” and “Fry” during a live session at The FADER’s HQ in New York City.
Originally conceived in 2023 as an exercise in creative liberation and a tribute to marine electronica, the Oxis project has grown rapidly, with seven prior releases over two years. Her consistent innovation has drawn attention from industry icons, including Julian Casablancas, for whom she opened shows in Los Angeles and New York City in 2024. She also joined Magdalena Bay on their North American tour this past fall and completed headline dates in LA, Toronto, and New York, cementing her presence in the global electronic scene.
Recognized by Office Magazine and Pigeons & Planes, which named her one of the year’s Best New Artists, Oxis continues to push the boundaries of electronic music, blending imaginative production, emotive storytelling, and a distinctly aquatic sensibility.
