John Bohannon has been releasing small-run tape, vinyl, and cd-r labels for the past five years under the moniker, Ancient Ocean. With his first full length album set to premiere in 2015 on Beyond Beyond is Beyond Records, Ancient Ocean explores the depths of guitar-based drone music through styles of minimalist, psychedelic, and American gothic music. Decoder Magazine praises Bohannon, “”You’d be hard-pressed to find another guitarist so confident in a style with a gradual attack and virtually infinite sustain — that is, notes float in very gently, and linger for ages.”
