About Me |
|
| ’The Private Sea places explosive, droney guitars, swirling male/female vocal harmonies, delicate electric piano, and a solid rhythm section into a concise musical package. The result is reminiscent of some of the best of neo-psychedelia, classic punk and shoegaze without the excesses of those genres. Though The Private Sea takes some influence from The Zombies, X, or My Bloody Valentine, it is difficult to trace their sound back to one or two definitive sources. In August of 2007, The Private Sea self-released their debut full length "Prelude," a summation of all the sounds, songs, and ideas the band has been cultivating from inception up to that point. The Private Sea has been touring throughout much of the US in support of the record ever since, and recently began work on new material.

Buy our new album "Prelude." $8 ppd in the USPress: "Philadelphia, PA’s the Private Sea offer up a great collection of songs on ’Prelude’. Sounding like a combination of influences from British Sea Power and early Radiohead to Galaxie 500 and theVelvet Underground; the Private Sea pulls off guy/girl harmonies with pop/rock (with an indie flare) that really catches your ear. Songs like ’Judas Kisses’ show them at their best, with ’Running’ and ’Cy Twombly’ being the other highlights. The sound projected on ’Prelude’ is really rarelyheard very often anymore. Parts of ’Cy Twombly’ for instance remind me a lot of the production and power of Jeff Buckley’s ’Grace’. With most bands that would be thrown into the same genre as The Private Sea, it’s nice to hear some bands out there that are pushing away from the norms ofsounding like a carbon copy of a New Order, Dinosaur Jr, or Pixies album that defined music for them when they were in college. " - N-A Magazine "The Private Sea has been one of my absolute favorite local bands for a few years now, and they just set the bar even higher for themselves with this, their first album." - Centerfuse.net on "Prelude" "Philadelphia five-piece The Private Sea injects detectable longing in well-pitched hooks, handing their songs over to the right anthem-making risks—brooding textures, teasing swells, magnetic harmonies and a batch of influences ranging from Spiritualized to The Jesus & Mary Chain." - The Independent Weekly, Chapel Hill |
