The Ocean have premiered a new video for part one of their new song “Ultima Esperanza.” That track is from the band’s new album, “Solaris,” which will be released on September 25.

A press release offered more details:

”’Ultima Esperanza‘ (Spanish for ‘last hope’) is the name of the southernmost province on the South American continent, named after the inlet known as Última Esperanza Sound. The inlet was given its name by Spanish navigator Juan Ladrillero in 1557, who hoped it would offer a passage to the Strait of Magellan. Instead, it leads to a glacier — and ultimately, a dead end.”

The band added:

“‘Ultima Esperanza‘ explores the intrinsically human notion of hope as the driving force behind all explorative endeavours, and loss thereof. It is a reflection on mental resilience, tracing the different stages of losing hope and the mind’s remarkable tendency to keep projecting it even onto the most dire realities, as an instinctive means of survival.”
