Aussie groove masters Ocean Alley have released their brand new single 'Infinity', the dreamy follow-up to their most recent cut 'Stained Glass'. Premiered by Billboard in the US, the track comes in the midst of the band's North American tour, providing yet another taste of their infectious brand of genre-fusing bliss.
Delving deeper into Ocean Alley's sonic exploration and experimentation, 'Infinity' picks up where 'Stained Glass' left off - layering swirling organs with shimmering guitar tones and synth sounds, intricately interwoven to transport the listener into an atmospheric, dream-like world. The pre-chorus introduces an alluring haziness, enhanced by Baden Donegal's entrancing vocals and harmonies, slowly building up after the second chorus to close out the song with an unexpected coda - complete with crashing cymbals and wailing slide guitar. Discussing the meaning behind the track, the band explained, "It's a more upbeat and punchy track than 'Stained Glass', addressing themes of perseverance, patience and practicing personal growth. It's an insight into the current mindset of the band as we acknowledge our past achievements and beg for new challenges on a relentless journey forward." Hailing from Sydney's Northern Beaches, six-piece Ocean Alley - Baden Donegal (vocals), Angus Goodwin (guitar), Nic Blom (bass), Lach Galbraith (keys/vocals), Mitch Galbraith (guitar) and Tom O'Brien (drums) - solidified their position as one of Australia's most exciting bands in 2018, having surpassed 70 million catalogue streams and achieving the impressive feat of attaining more than 1.4 million monthly Spotify listeners.UK/EUROPEAN TOUR DATES
