Underwater Over There - Vinyle Marbré Bleu Ocean

Description

The band Unwed Sailor, hailing from Oklahoma, has experienced a fruitful period in recent years. After a phase of silence in the 2010s, they resurfaced with the aptly named Heavy Age (2019) and two other full albums that showcase a remarkable evolution of their pop-oriented post-rock with bass. On Underwater Over There - their ninth album - a gothic and 80s jangle-pop current runs beneath a litany of memorable hooks and compositional twists, creating a propulsive and complex sound world. Influenced particularly by New Order and The Cure, the balance between gravity and brightness is the result of their intuitive writing method: the main bass line comes first, followed by melodies, drums, guitars, keyboards, and final details. The centerpiece of the album, "Junko," is a nod to the 2003 album The Marionette and The Music Box. While honoring their predecessors with nods, Unwed Sailor remains completely inimitable in their approach and style, twenty-five years into a celebrated career. The band's clear vision for Underwater Over There has given birth to one of their most indelible works, and their inventive and passionate approach promises much more to come on the horizon.
