About the album.

Chiaroscuro is the second album from Ocean Alley, the Northern Beaches psychedelic rock band, first released in March 2018. It blends laid-back alternative rock with reggae grooves and hazy psych guitar.

The title is an art term for the effect of contrasting light and shadow. Callum Howell produced, recorded and mixed the album at The Grove Studios on the Central Coast, and Steve Smart mastered it at Studios 301 in Sydney.

It became the band’s breakthrough. Triple j made it a Feature Album, ‘Confidence’ went on to top the Hottest 100, and the album went gold. With ‘Knees’ and ‘Happy Sad’ alongside it, the record carried Ocean Alley to shows across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Europe and North America.

The band have since followed it with Lonely Diamond in 2020, Low Altitude Living in 2022 and Love Balloon in 2025.

This edition is pressed on mint green vinyl across two LPs.
