Love Balloon by Ocean Alley
Across 10 tracks, Love Balloon takes listeners on a journey through life and love in all its complexity, anchored by moments of light, vulnerability and connection. Written during a time of significant personal milestones for each band member, that undercurrent fed directly into their pursuit of new sounds. With legendary rock producer Nick DiDia (Bruce Springsteen, Rage Against The Machine, Powderfinger) at the helm, the album embraces a stripped-back, organic approach that prioritised spontaneity and openness through the recording process. Woven with influences as diverse as Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Bee Gees, Kokoroko and GUM, it wears its inspirations with reverence while carving out its own distinct Ocean Alley-flair.
