Ocean Alley – Lonely Diamond

Ocean Alley return with their highly anticipated third album, Lonely Diamond.

With this new record the band build upon their roots in soft, guitar rock by introducing elements from funk, jazz and synth-wave. By doing so Ocean Alley take their sound to another level and cement themselves as a standout act on the Australian.

Lonely Diamond is a hypnotic, enthralling and funky record which brings an uplifting reassurance to the listener. The standout tracks on the record are Tombstone and All Worn Out, the latter of which is particularly shrinking thanks to its introduction of stunning piano notes and soaring vocals atop a very funk and jazz influenced base.
