Sebagai lanjutan dari album Lost Isles yang dirilis tahun 2015, kini Ocean Ate Alaska tengah siap merilis album baru bertajuk “Hikari” pada 28 Juli 2017.

Salah satu single yang baru dirilis, “Escapist” music video, menunjukkan band post-hardcore yang dibentuk pada tahun 2010 ini semakin matang, dan mencoba menambahkan beberapa variasi di akhir lagu.

Seperti diketahui sebelumnya. Vokalis Ocean Ate Alaska James Harrison telah keluar dari band dan diganti oleh Jake Noakes.

Lirik lagu: Ocean Ate Alaska – Escapist

You’re my enigma
Why claim another life
When you’re still ruling
A sea of corrupt minds
Feed from my weakness
I fear my hands are tied

Afflicted over and over again

This vicious cycle
It eats away
The very soul of this person you lead astray

Fighting this with every breath I breathe
When the smoke fills up my lungs
It’s so hard, it’s just so hard to see what’s underneath
I lust for strength to just come clean
Or bite my tongue and let it bury me

I know there’s a hell
Cause you’re keeping me here
You’re keeping me here
You’re keeping me here

Fighting this with every breath I breathe
When the smoke fills up my lungs
It’s so hard, it’s just so hard to see what’s underneath
I lust for strength to just come clean
Or bite my tongue and let it bury me

You’re my enigma
Why claim another life
When you’re still ruling
A sea of corrupt minds
Feed from my weakness
I fear my hands are tied

Afflicted over and over again
F**k

I know I could have been a better me
I know I could have been a better me
