It was a very cold day in Queens, New York. The year was 2013, with only a few days left, when Mostacho Xprmnt went Buskerville Studios to record. The musicians NJWA, Eitan Akman, Haruka Yabuno, Dave Lowenthal and bandleader Andrés Marín all played in the same room, and out of that session came the single "Ocean". "Ocean" is an R&B/NeoSoul ballad written by Malaysian award winning singer-songwriter NJWA and arranged by Mostacho Xprmnt. It took almost 6 years, but on August 9th 2019 it will see the light under the Music Dribble Entertainment label. The song is about the joy of finding real love while dwelling on the foolish mistakes of the past. Eventually love will bring you back to the shore. The production was influenced by Emily King and Hiatus Kaiyote on this track that slightly drifts away from Mostacho Xprmnt's typical jazz fusion sound. The band collaborated with Swedish illustration artist Ylva Borg for the single's cover artwork. The song was produced by Andres Marin, mixed by Sohta Tsuchiya in Boston and mastered by Daniel Alba at Zampol Productions in New York. In 2019 Mostacho Xprmnt evolved onto a trio format with Luis D'Elías on guitar, Dave Lowenthal on bass and Andrés Marín on drums. They also raised funds to finish their first album Dream Fulfilment Handbook which will include "Ocean" and is expected to drop in early 2020.
