The Artificial SeaUnwritten
Third Person Records [2010]
Fire Drill Review:
The calmness of sound itself is the take home point from The Artificial Sea's sophomore record Unwritten. The album is driven by the siren vocals of Alina Simone and the composed music of Kevin C. Smith that is supported with an array of building soundscapes, anchored with smooth string and horn undertones. Unwritten is perfect for a day when you have time to sit and absorb the duo's music, as its stories told by Simone can be both lonely and engaging in the same breath. The Artificial Sea is currently looking for a bigger audience and with this effort, I see no reason that people who love a Bjork, Mary Timony, or Kristin Hersh won't dig this album.
Key Track: "Baited Breath"
Band With Similar Fire: Mary Timony
