Thrushes - Exposing Seas (2015)

Thrushes are part of the passerine bird family. The songs of some species are considered to be among the most beautiful in the avian world. Baltimore s Thrushes bring a similar beauty to the human world with Exposing Seas, their first full-length in five years. Formed in 2005, the band s previous efforts (2007 s Sun Come Undone and 2010 s Night Falls) garnered the kind of glowing praise most indie acts could only hope for. Now, with Seas and its swirling, reverb-drenched guitars and dreamy yet plaintive vocals, the album brings to mind a mix of the classic shoegaze era-gone-by, Hounds of Love Bush-isms and a splash of 90s emoprogenitors Rainer Maria, resulting in Thrushes most focused work to date. Recorded and produced by J. Robbins (Jawbox, Burning Airlines, Office of Future Plans) at Magpie Cage Studios in Baltimore, Exposing Seas is set for a fall release on Florida s New Granada Records.
