The Frozen Ocean

Skeleton Key, the third album by Connecticut based solo artist, The Frozen Ocean, was the definition of "a labor of love." Taking 4 years to write and record, frontman and main songwriter Dave Swanson was a man possessed by purpose to make something truly unique and memorable. Before branching out on his own with The Frozen Ocean, Swanson was a guitarist and primary songwriter for melodic hardcore band, Life In Your Way (Tooth & Nail Records). The Frozen Ocean began as a secondary creative outlet while on tour, but soon grew into a greater pursuit, resulting in a full length album in 2008, and a follow-up EP in 2011. Swanson cites David Bazan, Coldplay, and David Gilmour as major influences in his approach to writing and each are fully on display throughout Skeleton Key. From the cryptic opener, “In Circles” to the cinematic ending track, “Violet” (which he wrote for his 4-year-old daughter), Skeleton Key explores the depths of life, emotion, and faith in a way that is fresh and inspiring.
