Go By Ocean
Can I Communicate With The Unknown?
Now also available on vinyl! 'Can I Communicate With The Unknown?' is the 2023 album from Go By Ocean, moniker of Northern California-based singer-songwriter and producer Ryan McCaffrey. The album features contributions from a wide cast of characters, ranging from the tight knit community of Phil Lesh's Terrapin Crossroads to the wider West Coast indie-rock scene, including members of The Mother Hips, Sugar Candy Mountain, ALO, Tea Leaf Green and more. Building upon McCaffrey's catalogue of songs, the album finds inspiration in the down-to-earth music of 1970s Marin County, when songwriters like Michael Hurley and Jesse Colin Young lived out in Olema and Point Reyes, the kind of places where songs blow in on the breeze from the Pacific Ocean.
