Ocean Beach – On My Way: 13th Floor New Song Of The Day
Ocean Beach release On My Way, the sixth single from forthcoming album, The Long Road Home, due for release on May 17, 2025.
Here is the blurb with more:
A crunchy little pop gem, On My Way is the second track on the album after the instrumental intro, and it sets the scene for the album’s road trip.
Ocean Beach frontman and songwriter Gary Dalhousie invites you to join him on his journey into the exciting unknown– a sort of Goodbye Pork Pie in reverse, leaving Invercargill for Auckland, the Earth for the Stars, Physicality for Spirituality, Attachment for Surrender.
The single On My Way is out on all digital platforms, with a celebration party at Whammy Bar, Auckland on Thursday March 20th, with good mates Silk Cut and Goodshirt’s Rodney Fisher.
Ocean Beach’s debut album The Long Road Home will be released on May 17th on Freezing Works Records.
It will be distributed on vinyl by Southbound Records, and digitally by Bigpop.

An indie rock-pop triple bill covering crunchy punk folk, shoegaze-inflected cinematic cruisers and acoustic delicacies.
Silk Cut:
“…chest-swelling indie-rock power-pop…”
“…Lennonesque dream-pop…”
“… mixes the sound of the late ’60s and early ’70s psych-pop with ’90s shoegaze.”
“Space-age shoegaze … Atmospheric and introspective, one part soundtrack, one part journey, on a whole new classic”.
Ocean Beach:
“Imagine a world where Bryan Ferry and Steve Malkmus’ Tongan love child became a cheese monger who learned to play the guitar. A world where DD Smash takes more acid, and Ram Dass is in a pub rock band. A world where sonic instrumentals merge with pop in the middle of spaghetti junction.”
Rodney Fisher:
Rodney Fisher requires no introduction. With a legendary discography from his time with Goodshirt through to his numerous solo projects, Fisher is hell-bent on leaving no creative stone unturned. He joins tonight’s line up in solo mode.
