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,” shares vocalist Dale Tanner of RAINDROP‘s origins. “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.”
