Ocean Grove announce new album ‘Up In The Air Forever’

OCEAN GROVE have announced a new album!

Titled Up In The Air Forever, the upcoming album from the Australian band is the follow-up to 2020’s Flip Phone Fantasy and is scheduled to be released in April this year, via UNFD.

The upcoming album intends to celebrate personal freedom, expression and creativity, and is characterised by strong anarchic sentiments and resentment for a system that squashes individualism and anti-“norm” ideas.

“COVID or not, everything is always uncertain,” muses frontman Dale Tanner on how the album’s title is a parallel to the unforeseeable nature of life. “Being fearful of uncertainty and the unknown squashes creativity. Embracing this notion of things being up in the air forever, eternally, is a really positive thing if you take it on board and let it empower you.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, OCEAN GROVE have released a new music video for a new song from the upcoming album; SILVER LINING. Speaking about the new song, the band adds, “we want nothing but to empower the listener with a positive mental attitude (PMA), especially in their darkest hours when they may feel completely lost in themselves or in the loss of a loved one. Life isn’t meant to be easy and there is always a reason to keep fighting for the beauty in the pain, even when the way out of the darkness seems impossible. Where there is hope, there is power if we choose to tap into this PMA mentality. Death is a tool to remind us of the importance of every moment we are alive. Time is scarce, use it wisely and let SILVER LINING be an anthem for the loving lost, that they are eternal and will be remembered with fierce optimism. There are great lessons to be learnt from solitude and it doesn’t have to last a lifetime. All will be okay in the temporary separation, and until the moment we meet our loved ones once again, we will fight every day on this planet to uphold their legacy and wisdom in the best way we know how.”
