Ocean Alley's Chiaroscuro is the sound of salt-crusted guitars and long summer afternoons, returning as a mint green double LP reissue.
Released in 2018, the second album from the Sydney band captured the moment they grew from beach-town favourites into a fixture of Australian festival lineups. Their mix of psychedelic rock, reggae grooves and laid-back surf-town soul found a huge audience, and this record remains the one many fans point to first.
Confidence is the obvious centrepiece, a slow-burning singalong with a rolling bass line and a chorus that seems built for a crowd at dusk. The Comedown leans into a woozy, late-night haze, while Knees swaggers on a heavier, bluesy riff. Happy Sad balances bright melody with an undercurrent of melancholy, which suits an album named after the play of light and shadow.
The band's real strength is feel, honed over years of relentless touring. The rhythm section sits deep in the pocket, the guitars trade warm, fuzzy lines, and Baden Donegal's vocals carry a raspy, unhurried charm.
For longtime fans, and anyone who has caught them on a festival stage, Chiaroscuro on coloured vinyl makes a natural addition to the shelf, best played loud with the windows open.
