Ocna

British/Swedish four-piece Ocna combine electronica with chiming guitars and spiralling synths to create powerful indie rock that’s uplifting, epic and at times ambient.


Formed in 2019 in the English coastal city of Brighton, the band consists of Fiona Robertson (vocals), Karl Nilsson (electronics, programming, guitar, lap steel), Matt Burns (drums) and Dale Hudson (guitar, bass, synths).


Ocna like music that creates its own world, immersing the listener in sound that reflects joy, sadness, a sense of ease or uneasiness.


The band has influences ranging from contemporary musicians such as School of Seven Bells, Beach House and Big Thief to classic acts including Joy Division, Cocteau Twins and Scott Walker.
