Australian-based band The Ocean Party returns with the release of their album “Soft Focus” on Spunk Records in Australia on October 31 and New Zealand, and on Jigsaw in the U.S. on November 4. Since their formation in 2011, The Ocean Party has released three other albums and have no plans of stopping any time soon.

“Soft Focus” clearly illustrates the laid-back, waterside lifestyle of their fellow Aussies. The layers of easy-flowing guitars and dreamy synths flow between the lyrics about making sense of one’s emotions. Keep your ears open to KTSW to hear songs from The Ocean Party’s “Soft Focus.”
