It Shimmers It Shines The Opal Ocean Meteor Hits Home And Leaves A Huge Impression

3/3/2026

Opal Ocean
Meteor
Melbourne

Burning guitars and late-night music bars, the music duo Opal Ocean put quality and showmanship back on the Australian street music scene. They went viral with a busking video filmed in the Melbourne hometown; the skills these guys profess are on another level. The pairing of Alex Champ and Nadak Tabak, with their simultaneously well-crafted skills, brings a repertoire of guitar pieces that entertain, inspire, and capture the spirit of the evening. Their new album just dropped; Temple of the Stars will be brought to UK shores on their tour this week. Taken from the album is the promo track Meteor. Capturing the rise and brilliance of their journey, with millions of views on their videos, the whole world can see the light moving closer to the sun. Let’s catch it.

Slapping strings and a rhythmic build up brings the track into full flow. The duo of strings offers a stereo journey of mirrored vibrancy. It boils and simmers; the bubbles begin to bulge and rise, and the frantic melodic adventure begins. A quick launch into rock and metal style riffs delivered on a clean and sparkling steel string; the chops and patterns continue to fly and fling as lead sections embellish and evolve the motion. More high-end quality musicianship follows; the music continues with expert duration and accuracy. Without drums, without bass, just the pulse of the track, the feel of the movement, and a keen ear, the pair push onward through quick stepping blues and formidable harmonies. Deliciously good.
