OCEAN GROVE ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM 'ODDWORLD' AND DROP NEW SINGLE 'RAINDROP AHEAD OF EAST COAST TOUR
Reigniting their roots while stepping dauntlessly into a new era, today Melbourne heavy enigmas Ocean Grove announce their fourth studio album ODDWORLD, due out on November 22 via ODDWORLD Records in Australia and SharpTone Records for the rest of the world.
Recently showcasing insatiable creativity and a renewed sonic identity via the nu metal-soaked singles FLY AWAY and MY DISASTER, ODDWORLD is ultimately a celebration of Ocean Grove's endless capacity for staunch innovation and sharp execution, with today's announcement also accompanied by the release of a buoyant new single RAINDROP.
"RAINDROP was forged in a very ‘Tapes’ kind of way i.e. the ‘Oddworld Collective’ got in the studio and fused multiple ideas from multiple members together until we struck magic. Blending Twiggy’s melancholy demo with Sam’s hyperactive production style, the track is definitely an outlier on the album for its dark-meets-playful energy and we’re pretty pumped to play this one live.
We wanted to further cement the ‘OG Collective’ with the RAINDROP visuals, highlighting the creative and vocal contributions of studio member Luke ‘Poochy’ Holmes. Knowing that we had full creative license (as always) to depart from the fast-paced, action-based style of the previous two music videos we instead opted for a slow-mo, off the wall visualiser. The dissonance of the dark lyrical undertone met with the upbeat music was something we especially wanted to exaggerate with this clip." shares vocalist Dale Tanner of RAINDROP's origins.
