Australian rockers Ocean Alley have returned with a new single titled ‘Tangerine’, the first taste of new music from the six piece since 2022’s critically acclaimed album ‘Low Altitude Living’.
Inspired by the breathtaking landscapes band members Baden Donegal and Lach Galbraith encountered moving from Byron Bay to Western Australia, the expansive and inviting “Tangerine” captures the essence of a sun-drenched summer day.
Speaking on the track, lead singer Baden said:
“We drove across the Nullarbor with our wives and dogs. The long, straight roads, the isolation and the different landscapes were intense and amazing. There was such contrast between the red dirt and crystal blue ocean. Seeing parts of the desert and sunsets on that commute, the sky turning orange, or tangerine, is what really inspired this song.”
The accompanying video was shot on location during Ocean Alley’s groundbreaking tour of North America – on the drive from their sold out show in Denver enroute to Calgary – in a town called Billings in the state of Montana. Directed by Jamieson Kerr (West Coast, Lapwing, Drinks & Cigars), the clip applies the song’s feeling of openness and remoteness into a new context; equally picturesque and underscored with intrigue, lathered with a sense of freedom and reckless abandon.
Laid back southern charm led by singers vocals that add a little bite and soul to the chilled vibe. One listen transports those from colder climes to the beauty of an Australian day. Something much needed as winter takes a hold.
