The Sea The Sea - Captives

| The Sea The Sea - Captives |
I do like it when bands have a
conscious shift in a new direction purely because they want to and, with a new,
darker synth strewn sound, The Sea The Sea have made just that shift.
'Captives' is a free download single (that's right, free) which acts as a
subtly gorgeous precursor to a new EP that is due later in the year. The
tightly plucked guitars, sparse melodies and distant vocals leave this tune in
a dark room somewhere on the same corridor as Delphic, Editors, Joy Division
and Swim Deep - a pretty cool corridor, huh? According to that their interweb,
the band are set to cross the pond from Oxford to the U. S. of A. later this
year and I have a feeling this very English indie will earn them a fervent cult
following if nothing else.
