Ocean Alley are proud to announce their upcoming film Lonely Diamond - Live In Studio, a live performance of their recent third album Lonely Diamond played in full. Presented in conjunction with the band's community brand A Day For The Beaches, the film will premiere online at 8pm local time on Friday, September 25 in Sydney, UK, New York City and Los Angeles, available for ticket-buyers to watch at any time globally for 48 hours. The band will join a live Q&A chat hosted on the video platform to coincide with the premiere in each time zone.
Directed and shot on 16mm film and digital by frequent collaborators The Sauce, Lonely Diamond - Live In Studio was recorded at Sydney's Studios 301 and provides an intimate live setting for music-lovers to experience Ocean Alley's latest album, immersing fans into their world with a look into the action and banter that goes on behind-the-scenes and during a live performance. With audio recorded by the band's long-time producer Callum Howell, Ocean Alley's renowned production and performance quality is at the forefront of the film, never losing the charming or dynamic essence for which they are so celebrated. They reimagine how Lonely Diamond can be experienced in a new and socially-distanced way to provide the first opportunity for fans to connect with the album in a full band performance, despite the current pause on touring due to COVID-19. Adding a dimension of otherworldliness to the film, the album's visual identity is integrated into the set's design, using irregular shapes and contrasting gradients to lean into Lonely Diamond's themes of exploration and escapism.
