The Sea are set to follow up their debut album ‘Get It Back’ with ‘Rooftops’ on May 7th through Lusty Records.
Produced by John Cornfield (Oasis, XTC, Muse), the London based two-piece’s second full-length shows a richer pallet of sounds and more varied instrumentation than their debut, but maintains their melodic and powerful edge that permeates through the songwriting. Infectious choruses, bounding melodies and charming lyrics are the order of the day on ‘Rooftops’ as brothers as Peter and Alex D’Chisholme play their hearts out over ten songs.
Despite writing and performing as a two piece, The Sea create a huge, arena-filling sound. Often led by the prodigious drumming of Alex, the tracks on ‘Rooftops’ are as intense as they are engaging, keeping a solid level of energy throughout. Singer Peter switches between his fuzzy, anthemic guitar to the piano while his vocals take centre stage on each of ‘Rooftops’ impassioned choruses. The band have also enlisted the help of horn and string sections to create their rousing sound.
The two-piece have received critical acclaim with their debut album ‘Get It Back’ and the single ‘Love Love Love’ and have since enjoyed success overseas, headlining tours and festivals across Europe, including Musikschutzgebiet Festival in Germany and Kuahgartn Open Air Festival Switzerland. The band have spent much of the past two years touring relentlessy across Europe, America and Canada and have a series of live dates across the UK and Europe to perform tracks from ‘Rooftops’.
