"Frames" showcases Oceansize's signature blend of post-rock and alternative metal, characterized by expansive soundscapes and intricate instrumentation. The production is polished yet raw, allowing the dynamic shifts between heavy, distorted guitars and ethereal, ambient passages to shine. Tracks like "Commemorative ____ T-Shirt" and "Trail of Fire" feature driving rhythms and soaring melodies, while "Sleeping Dogs and Dead Lions" offers a more introspective, atmospheric quality. The album's tempo varies, creating a sense of ebb and flow that enhances its emotional depth. Distinctive textures emerge through layered vocals and rich, resonant bass lines, culminating in a sonic experience that is both immersive and thought-provoking.
