North East indie-rockers Fortitude Valley share their new single ‘Oceans Apart’. The third and final single from their upcoming album Part Of The Problem, Baby out August 1.

“‘Oceans Apart’ is the name of an album by legendary Brisbane band The Go-Betweens. Another Aussie reference to tie things together. Lyrically, it’s about growing up, moving away across oceans and trying to be successful and happy off your own back.” explains songwriter Laura Kovic.

‘Oceans Apart’ really shows Fortitude Valley’s progression; the sibling rhythm section of Nathan Stephens-Griffin (drums) and Naomi Griffin (bass) locks in propulsively before Kovic’s stadium-worthy hook gives way to an all-too-brief burst of deft soloing from guitarist Dave Hillier, creating a song that feels far grander and more epic than its two minutes should really allow.
