German darkwave/synthpop artist MEERSEIN, the deeply introspective project of Oldenburg-based musician and radio presenter Jan Schütz, unveils his latest EP “Ocean,” now available as a digifile and across digital platforms as of April 10.

At its core, MEERSEIN is more than a musical project—it’s a refuge. Rooted in emotional honesty and atmospheric depth, Schütz crafts soundscapes shaped by solitude, reflection, and the pull of the sea. The ocean itself becomes both muse and metaphor, a place where identity is not lost, but rediscovered. Many of these compositions were conceived near water, where silence replaces chaos and clarity emerges from stillness.

“Ocean” unfolds as a cohesive, introspective journey through transformation and vulnerability, pulling listeners beneath the surface of its emotional and sonic depth. “Tide Myself” opens the EP with slow-building intensity, using pulsing synths and fluid arrangements to frame the ocean as a living force and a metaphor for self-discovery.

The momentum continues with “Ariel,” a shimmering blend of post-punk influence and melancholic synthpop, telling the story of a siren who sacrifices her origin for love—capturing the emotional weight of identity, loss, and devotion.

One of the EP’s most striking moments arrives with “Faultless Deep,” a musically ambitious ballad layered with evolving textures and subtle tempo shifts. Inspired by The Swarm, the track channels ecological unease into a poetic meditation on humanity’s fragile relationship with nature, exposing the illusion of control in a world teetering on consequence.

Recorded and produced by MEERSEIN, with mixing and mastering handled by Jingle Crafters, the EP is a fully realized vision—sonically unified and visually complemented by artwork created by the artist himself, alongside photography by Caitlin Stokes.
