Go By Ocean is the Marin County, CA based musical project led by singer-songwriter Ryan McCaffrey. The band has featured an array of talented musicians from the indie rock and improvised music scene, who have all come together to help bring McCaffrey’s sublime songs to life.
“Should Have Known” has Marin County sounds painted all over it. With the first release of Go By Ocean’s new album McCaffery shows his ability to pull you in with perfect layering and harmonic accompaniment and keep you there with tasteful and catchy songwriting. With the help of Bay Area Heavy hitter Tim Bluhm of the Mother Hips, this track is washed with breezy beachy vibes without leaning too hard into overused surf tones and rhythms. The rhythmic push and pull keeps the song feeling fresh throughout and will leave you scratching for the rest of his new album “Can I Communicate With The Unknown?”
