Nocean Beach is pop music for grungy club shows, garage shows, generator in the sand dunes shows, where the front row is nose to nose with the singer in the band, and the ceiling is so low that crowd surfing touches the rafters. Songwriter Alexi Belchere learned how to play guitar from incorrect White Stripes tabs online and wrote Nocean Beach songs to point a mirror at herself and try not to flinch. The results are dreamy, crunchy, twangy, and groovy all at once: the perfect songs to yell along to or play by yourself while staring at the sea.
