Three Steps to the Ocean is an Italian instrumental outfit. Like their counterparts in Vanessa Van Basten, Three Steps to the Ocean dabbles in the world of post-rock. The recording here is the band's debut EP reissued on vinyl format.
Three Steps to the Ocean is a four-piece and together they've assembled a mixture of post-rock and instrumental metal. I'd compare them to a toned down version of Isis, but with less of a knack for songwriting. What I mean to say is, their songs come off as less cohesive and a bit more abstract in their song structures. You can be abstract and arty, but you've got to make it flow. Unfortunately the music here lacks that flow; at times I got lost listening and just wanted to press stop.
