Dream sequence Knees engulfs a relaxed nature through its streams of gliding electric guitar that ebb and flow across a beautiful, fluctuating vocal”– The Music

Ocean Alley are thrilled to unveil the sun-kissed new video to accompany the raw and wistful ‘Knees’, a standout cut from their acclaimed second album Chiaroscuro – of which the 2nd vinyl pressing is now available. The band are taking the LP on the road in North America for 29-shows through May and June, having kicked off in San Diego this week and with two dates already sold out in Canada.
Having fast become a fan-favourite on the band’s sold out Australian tour, conjuring mass crowd sing-alongs on all stops, ‘Knees’ combines dreamy tones with hopeful yet commanding vocals and stunning harmonization. The video portrays an endless summer, the lo-fi, grainy vision evoking a sense of nostalgia as Australia moves into the somber, cooler months. Tying in with the album’s theme of dark and light, the heavy weight of the song’s lyrics and emotive sense of longing is juxtaposed with the warm, floating imagery.
Off the back of their sold out 7-date Australian tour, Ocean Alley have received widespread praise for their mesmerising live performances, X-Press claiming
“their live set was seamless, echoing their recorded music and enhanced by their sensual stage presence”, Savage Thrillsdeclaring “they can’t seem to set a foot wrong” and The Music suggesting “…would be wise to follow these boys into the wild and windy surf”.

Their acclaimed second album Chiaroscuro debuted at #15 on the ARIA Chart, and was awarded the coveted triple j Feature Album, with the station proclaiming “Ocean Alley have surfed their way to ‘Next Big Thing’ status.”
