When this band released their second album, it was a week before the entire world shut down in 2020. When they released their third album in 2022, the entire thing had to be written remotely to follow government mandated distancing restrictions. So when writing the fourth album started, what would that process be like?

How about creating an album all together again, with past and current members fully engrained in the process all together, and having the drummer produce it? That would certainly help create a definitive sound that any artists would be passionate about.

Dale from the Australian band Ocean Grove is on the Chord Progression Podcast. After releasing the new album Oddworld back in Novermber, check out how Ocean Grove created their definitive sound as we talk about

• The release story of Oddworld from 2 previous albums heavily impacted by the COVID pandemic, and the changes made to make this album as good as possible.
• How past and current members came together to work on, and create, an all-encompassing album that will define Ocean Grove's sound.
• Why Stunner is the most integral, and interesting, song on the entire album.
