OCEAN ALLEY RELEASE DREAMY NEW SINGLE ‘INFINITY’
PREMIERED BY BILLBOARD
CURRENTLY TOURING NORTH AMERICA
.
Northern Beaches 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 overnight, the track comes in the midst of the band’s North American tour, and was praised “with its warm keys and bluesy guitar tones, “Infinity” is a sunny, laid-back tune.”

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. Through the pre-chorus, an alluring haziness seeps in, 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.”
Ocean Alley are currently midway through a 32-date tour of the USA and Canada, returning home next month for a special Saturday night performance at Splendour In The Grass on the main stage. The band will spend the rest of the Australian winter months in Europe, playing 19 shows across the continent including an appearance at Budapest’s world-renowned Sziget Festival and a sold out headline show at London’s iconic Electric Ballroom.
Hailing from Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Ocean Alley – Baden Donegal (vocals), Angus Goodwin (guitar), Nic Blom (bass), Lach Galbraith (keys/vocals), Mitch Galbraith (guitar) and Tom O’Brien (drums) – have solidified their position as one of Australia’s most exciting bands. The six-piece have two albums under their belt, Lost Tropics (2016) and the critically acclaimed Chiaroscuro (2018) w hich peaked at #11 on the ARIA Chart and spawned the triple j Hottest 100 #1 and ARIA Top 10 Double Platinum certified single ‘Confidence’. Having surpassed 70 million catalogue streams on Spotify, as well as achieving the impressive feat of attaining more than 1.4 million monthly listeners, Ocean Alley continue to captivate audiences worldwide with their infectious blend of psychedelic surf-rock, selling out a slew of shows at home and abroad, plus performing festivals including Splendour In The Grass, BottleRock (USA) and Rhythm and Vines (NZ).
