Our Take
Our Take
If you were to pop on over to Santa Monica, you might just find yourself basking in the bright sunshine and salty sea air. But if you happen to stumble upon Ocean Hills, you'll be greeted with a different kind of musical journey on their latest release, aptly titled "Santa Monica".
This blue vinyl gem is a delightful mix of indie rock, pop sensibilities, and a dash of California cool that will have you dreaming of cruising down the Pacific Coast Highway with the wind in your hair. Lead singer Zane Carney's vocals glide effortlessly over the shimmering guitar riffs and driving rhythms, transporting listeners to a sun-soaked paradise where the only worry is when the ice cream truck will make its next pass.
Tracks like "Pacific Terrace" and "Beach House" capture the essence of lazy summer days spent lounging by the ocean, while "Sunset Blvd" adds a touch of intrigue with its haunting melodies and introspective lyrics. The production on this album is top-notch, with each instrument shining through in all its glory, creating a lush sonic landscape that begs to be explored.
Overall, Ocean Hills' "Santa Monica" is a refreshing breath of sea-salted air in a musical landscape cluttered with mediocrity. So grab your shades, lather on the sunscreen, and let this album transport you to a beachside paradise where the vibes are good and the music is even better. 8.5/10.

About the artist
Ocean Hills
Ocean Hills is the latest musical sensation to emerge from the depths of the music industry, like a shimmering pearl plucked from the ocean floor. Fronted by the enigmatic and supremely talented Zoli Teglas, this band is a tsunami of emotion, crashing onto the shores of our hearts with their powerful melodies and poignant lyrics. With a background that reads like a rock 'n' roll fairy tale, Teglas brings a wealth of experience as both a vocalist and a songwriter to Ocean Hills. His vocals are a force of nature, soaring to dizzying heights one moment and plunging into the depths of despair the next. His bandmates, including Peter Lukacs on guitar, Daniel Szebenyi on bass, and Reinder Oldenburger on drums, provide the perfect backdrop for Teglas' musical theatrics, creating a sound that is at once familiar and fresh. Ocean Hills' debut album is a tour de force of rock anthems and heartfelt ballads, each track a mini masterpiece in its own right. From the haunting beauty of "Bound" to the infectious energy of "Death or Liberty," this album is a journey through the highs and lows of the human experience, set to a soundtrack that will linger in your mind long after the final chord has faded. In a world where music often feels disposable and forgettable, Ocean Hills stands out as a beacon of creativity and authenticity. With Teglas at the helm, this band is destined for greatness, and I, for one, can't wait to see where their musical odyssey takes them next.
