Summary: <p>Singer/guitarist Elise Okusami, who records as<span> </span><a href="https://oceanator.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Oceanator</a><span> </span>(supervillain or superhero?), came up in the DC punk scene, playing drums, guitar, and bass. Her songs, while rooted in a rockenroll and punk community garden, also play with synthy-pop and even 1950’s sock hop feels. Some songs feature chuggy-aggressive guitar and a voice like a sweaty hug in a mosh pit from a friendly stranger who picks you up after you’ve been knocked down.<span> Oceanator has been riding out the pandemic in Maryland, and joins us from there to nerd out a little about recording, hint at the next record, and play some of her songs.</span></p>
