Oxis and The Longest Johns

Bristol sea-shanty pioneers The Longest Johns formed when friends who bonded over video games started singing shanties, first posting kitchen recordings on YouTube. They’ve since played shanty festivals worldwide, growing a global folk community.

Oxis, also known as Valentina Cytrynowicz, is a Los Angeles-based artist crafting intimate electropop and marine electronica. Her distinctive style features songs named after fish, accompanied by unique artwork and DIY performance videos with coded visuals. Notable works include albums like "Oxis 7" and "Oxis 8," and popular tracks such as "Long Sardine" and "Fry." She has toured alongside Magdalena Bay, recognized for her innovative sound blending acoustic and electronic elements.
