New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Evening Ocean) Evening Ocean's "
The Kiss" joins Grammy Award winning Daft Punk's "Tron: Legacy" in Top 5 in Canada, reaches Top 25 on syndicated U.S. radio and Top 100 on Amazon.com chart.
After being named "Best New Artist Of 2006" by Top Ten Amazon Reviewer Rebecca Johnson, electronica artist Evening Ocean returns with "The Kiss" - garnering five star reviews that include Two Top Ten Amazon Reviewers: E.A Solinas and Rebecca Johnson.
"I was really impressed with 'The Kiss,'" said Rebecca Johnson. Johnson, the No 6 classic ranked reviewer for Amazon.com, has been profiled in The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, Forrester's magazine and KING 5 TV in Seattle.
Johnson continues: "I can definitely see many songs from the 'The Kiss' being placed in films and even commercials. The first 20 seconds of the song 'Nova' sounds like it could be in a Lexus commercial. If you look at electronic bands like Daft Punk and Chemical Brothers, they're getting more involved with movie soundtracks like Disney's 'Tron: Legacy' and (Focus Features) 'Hanna'. Years ago, soundtracks were the sole province of great composers like Hans Zimmer who scored 'Inception'. I see Evening Ocean's music poised to join that realm."
Evening Ocean's second album "The Kiss" arrives almost 5 years after "The Attraction" - released in 2006. "The Kiss" was mastered by Grammy Award winning Don Grossinger, who also mastered for Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Brian Wilson, Metallica, Franz Ferdinand, Madonna, Faithless, and dance labels including Ministry of Sound and Strictly Rhythm.
The artwork for the CD was created by Paris based artist Natalie Shau. In addition to creating the artwork for Evening Ocean's previous CD: "The Attraction", she has also done artwork for bands including Lacuna Coil and Kerli. Her work has appeared in galleries and magazines worldwide including the French edition of Vogue.

CJSW DJ Mark Sonnier on "The Kiss": "We are getting great feedback from listeners on this new record. I've been featuring music from Evening Ocean's new album The Kiss for the past several weeks. I love the layered textures and intricate melodies created in the tracks 'The Rains,' 'Beneath The Lights' and 'Nova.' Evening Ocean has created a luminous soundtrack for the overnight hours which sounds amazing all throughout the day."
