Marine electronica’s pioneering siren Oxis returns with two new singles, “Grey Mullet” and “Scup,” offering a deeper glimpse into her ever-evolving sonic world. Released today, the tracks continue to build anticipation for a forthcoming project, expanding the immersive, oceanic universe that defines her sound.
“Grey Mullet” unfolds as a rising, astral ballad, carried by Oxis’ hushed, ethereal vocals. In contrast, “Scup” leans into dynamic composition—opening with delicate guitar before gradually submerging into layers of yearning vocals, drums, and bass, then resurfacing with renewed clarity. Together, the two tracks showcase her ability to balance fragility and intensity within deeply textured arrangements.
The release follows the momentum of Oxis 8, which arrived in January via Boom Records. The project featured standout cuts including “Fingerling,” “Guili,” “Piranha,” and “Fry,” earning praise from Stereogum, FLOOD, and Pigeons & Planes—the latter naming Oxis among its Artists To Watch In 2026.
Continuing the conceptual thread of the Oxis series, each installment captures heightened coming-of-age emotions with striking immediacy. That duality—moments that feel both electrifying and deeply vulnerable—remains central to her work, as she channels raw emotional states into expansive, genre-blurring compositions. The prolific nature of the series also highlights her growth in real time, reinforcing her presence as a producer, songwriter, and vocalist unafraid to explore new sonic territory.
Further emphasizing this evolution, Oxis recently offered an intimate look into her creative process with a stripped-back live session for The FADER in New York City, reimagining “Piranha” and “Fry” in a more minimal, exposed format.
Currently, Oxis is supporting Bob Moses and Cannons on a run of North American tour dates, with upcoming performances at iconic venues including Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Greek Theatre, and Hollywood Bowl.
With “Grey Mullet” and “Scup,” Oxis continues to refine her singular artistic voice—blurring the boundaries between atmosphere and emotion—while guiding listeners further into a world that feels as fluid, immersive, and unpredictable as the tides themselves.
