NYC-based sibling musicians Shane and Anya have been playing music together since they were kids. Over the past year, they started Noorani, an emerging music project, in which the pair mesh elements of shoegaze, dream pop, psych rock and alternative R&B.
The duo’s latest single “Oceans” is a slow-burning song featuring reverb-soaked, phased guitars, glistening synths and the sibling’s soaring harmonies paired with rousingly anthemic hooks and choruses. While seeming to nod at early Tame Impala, but with a bittersweet wooziness, the song according to the duo explores the inner conflict between the desire to escape emotional abuse and the fear of leaving an old life behind.
