Though news of their forthcoming album "Flip Phone Fantasy" is out in the ether, Ocean Grove have been tight lipped about its release date. Today the band are drip feeding more visuals from the release however, with the reveal of new single and video "NEO" and the album cover, detailed below.
Just shy of two minutes long, "NEO" bursts out of the gate before spiralling into a wobbly, distorted breakdown and ramping back up again. Bassist Twiggy Hunter, who swaps the bass for frontman duties with Dale on this track, explains that "NEO'"is the "sonic boom of bedroom angst".
"...it's the fist through the wall to expose what lies on the other side of teenage aggression," he adds. "It is the learning of one’s depression through anger and confusion and trying to find your place in a world of distortion. It completes the spectrum of human emotions that 'Flip Phone Fantasy' seeks to explore".
