Brisbane’s pop-punk upstarts Two Times Shy are soaring lofty heights as they let loose their …
Oddworlders Ocean Grove have pressed play on Stratosphere Love, their latest visual accompaniment to this year’s perfect disc, The Rhapsody Tapes. Watch below:
The video takes us and passers-by to Oddworld itself, which bears an uncanny likeness to Melbourne’s Max Watts Bar & Ballroom.
“This clip delves deeper into the inner workings of the Oddworld of Ocean Grove with the pumping sounds of the Stratosphere providing a pulse. The Oddworld being a place born out of our last record The Rhapsody Tapes,” says frontman and protein enthusiast Luke Holmes. “In the formative stages of the record we had this idea of creating this paradigm, our own universe we wanted to more or less write a musical composition for, but as the record came along with its varying soundscapes and quirks it became quite evident that it was now the music shaping and obscuring this world we wanted to create. This place while as idiosyncratic as the music itself, began to mirror and reflect the oddities and challenges of the world we know.”
The boys will return from Oddworld for a ring of shows in our less interesting, but still quite useful Regularworld. They’ll make their debut Splendour In The Grass gig, followed by their own Australian headline tour with their mates in Justice For The Damned, Broken and The Beverly Chills. Their headline tour has already sold out dates in Melbourne and Sydney.
