Atlanta pop/rock band Ocean is Theory recently released a free single entitled “Best Intentions” from its upcoming EP Future Fears, available May 23. Download it on the band’s Facebook page.

The track is decidedly more poppy than most of the band’s earlier offerings, which often featured a slightly harder edge. “Best Intentions” rounds out those edges with catchy hooks and more diverse instrumentation.

?
After two self-released records and years of unrelenting touring, Ocean is Theory found a home with Razor & Tie last November, and Future Fears is the quartet’s first release with the independent label. A currently untitled full-length is due on Razor & Tie later this summer.
