Ocular are a four-piece Nu Jazz band from the UK. Forming back in 2021, they began writing and recording, developing a large catalogue of original music. Throughout 2022 they continued playing for fun, but as the end of the year approached, they set their sights on making it serious.
After releasing their debut single Aurora in 2023, they saw a growth in attention and quickly became a standout band in their local music scene. Throughout the year, they continued writing more music, began gigging at local venues, and supporting key artists within their area. They became a five-piece, and with the addition of saxophone, they recorded their self-produced debut album Planet Ocular which would later release in December 2023.
Now with a new line-up in 2026, they explore fresh sounds in their new EP Roots. Influenced by folk music on tracks such as Lighthouse and by dance music on the title track, OCULAR continue to defy genre and challenge listeners.
