Album Review: The Ocean Party - Beauty Point

Emily Blackburn
StarStarStarStar

"The contrast of depressing lyrics and upbeat tones resonates toward the hearts of young Australians."

More The Ocean Party The Ocean Party

From start to finish Melbourne's The Ocean Party provide an encapsulating and calming atmosphere within Beauty Point.

With its reverb-heavy guitar, deep, brooding vocals and upbeat dance melodies, the album takes us through the woes of young adult life. From being overwhelmed in Crisis ("All on my own / The walls are caving in"), to the struggle of fighting for your rights and future in Strike ("Spend money to buy your freedom") the contrast of depressing lyrics and upbeat tones resonates toward the hearts of young Australians and creates a witty, fun album to ponder your own existence over.
