The Ocean Party, In A Knot. It’s precisely the chilled out pop music I’ve come to expect from the heavy-hitters in Australia featuring gently gliding guitar lines, cool melodies and real world lyrics. You can expect a full-length titled Social Clubs to come from the band in October, but for now, enjoy this gem... austintownhall.com

‘In A Knot’ is the new single from the Ocean Party. This track has a 90’s throwback to the Dinosaur Jr. era. There is something country about the deep vocals and a spoken verse/sweet melodic chorus sounds. ‘In A Knot’ has a warmth that feels familiar and a real catchy hook. The understated tone disguises the maturity of this band and I find this sound really comforting... whothehell.net

The Ocean Party are one of those bands that should be playing a massive world tour, then maybe kick back on a beach for a few months to contemplate a full length. They call on influences such as The Shins, Paul Kelly and The Panics, I can assure you, if you even mildly enjoy any of these artists, The Ocean Party and you will hit if off instantly. www.allidoislisten.com

The Ocean party who all came from Wagga but are living the dream in Fitzroy. Very young band who I caught playing at a Ron peno gig. Quite post punk in the ringing guitars and vocals. very good songs. They are very young and open faced and personable. Instrumentation is two clean sounding guitars into a Fender valve and a Mesa Boogie combo with bass, drums and keys. Looking so much like early Orange Juice. they use sweet major seventh chords and the lyrics are timeless in style and content. Delivered faultlessly. If I said they are a pop band I am not being at all dismissive or negative. Songs with hooks and charm. davegraney.blog.spot.com
