Australian psych-surf rockers Ocean Alley are back and smoother than ever. The band just announced their highly anticipated fifth studio album, Love Balloon, due out September 19th, and to set the tone, they’ve dropped the album’s title track—a sun-soaked groove that’s as floaty and addictive as its name suggests.

Love Balloon” is classic Ocean Alley: laid-back yet driven, melodic yet bold. It’s drenched in feel-good vibes, breezy guitar lines, and frontman Baden Donegal’s signature soulful vocals. This is a track built for late-night drives, lazy summer afternoons, and the kind of moments where time feels suspended.

The single hints at a more romantic, effervescent direction for the band, while still holding tight to their psych-reggae roots. It’s an evolution that feels effortless—expanding their sonic palette while keeping their identity unmistakably intact.

To sweeten the deal, Ocean Alley will also hit the road for a North American tour, launching later this summer. Expect a mix of brand-new tracks from Love Balloon, old favorites from Chiaroscuro and Lonely Diamond, and the kind of infectious live energy that’s turned their shows into global must-sees.
