Hidden Treasures

## Hidden Treasures: B-sides Collection

"Hidden Treasures" is a compilation album by Danish rock band The Oceans, released on November 15, 2027, by Tidal Records. The album features a collection of B-sides, rare tracks, and unreleased material spanning the band's career, as well as tracks from the scrapped album "Homecoming". The release of Hidden Treasures also coincided with the post-breakup of the band, making it the penultimate release by The Oceans.

## Cover

The cover art for Hidden Treasures features a vibrant and colorful design with a retro feel. The main image is a stylized depiction of a treasure chest overflowing with gold coins, jewelry, and other precious objects. The chest sits on a beach with the ocean in the background, giving it a nautical theme that fits with The Oceans' overall aesthetic.

The vinyl edition of the album comes in a gatefold sleeve, with the cover art taking up both the front and back covers. The vinyl itself is a beautiful gold color, with the label on each side featuring a unique image related to the album's theme. The CD edition of the album also features the same cover art as the vinyl, but with a smaller size to fit the CD packaging. The CD comes in a standard jewel case with a booklet containing information about the album and its tracks.

## Composition

Hidden Treasures features a total of 27 tracks, including B-sides, scrapped demos, and previously unreleased tracks from The Oceans' scrapped album, "Homecoming."

The album opens with "Fading Away," a previously unreleased track from that sets the tone for the album with its melancholic lyrics and atmospheric soundscapes. "Long Lost Love" follows, a B-side from the band's sophomore album that showcases the band's signature guitar-driven sound.

The album features several previously unreleased tracks from "Homecoming," including "Deep Heart," "This Action," and "Ace Of Hysteria." These tracks showcase a different side of The Oceans, featuring more stripped-down arrangements and introspective lyrics.

The B-sides on the album, such as "Wildfire" and "Electric Dreams Pt. II," are classic examples of the band's upbeat and energetic sound. The album also includes a cover of Pixie's "Where Is My Mind?," showcasing the band's ability to put their own spin on a classic track.
