McAllen, TX indie rock duo Sick/Sea has
signed with Autumn + Colour Records (Sleepy Turtles, Austin Archer). The
sibling members Audrey and Cameron Scott will be recording their new album in
August, and then touring the southeast in September. Head over to their page

Imagine a sequestered town at the southern brink of the Lone
Star State whose townsfolk claim as much cultural heritage from the bordering
country as they do from their own. A place that seems contradictory being such
a small town in the largest of U.S. states. It is in this setting that the
emerging band, Sick/Sea finds its roots. While their hometown
might be small, the music from the Magic Valley is anything but little. The
tight-knit music community found there is making waves that are flowing out past
the edges of Texas, spilling into the south at large. Several critically
acclaimed groups hail from the area and Sick/Sea is a part of the growing
current.
Siblings Audrey and Cameron Scott joined together to create
what might be called a ‘trend-breaking’ type of music, having fused the
multi-genre sounds of their childhood into one splendid style featuring
elements of Indie, Jazz, Rock and even a breath of Hardcore. Their unique songs
are strung together by mellifluous, reverb-laden guitars whose dream-like tones
could have easily been recorded in an echoing cave on a deserted island in that
longed-for ocean from which the band’s name is derived. Cameron’s dynamically
energetic drumming, combined with the succinct and jazz-like bass riffs, create
a diverse and mature sound. Perhaps it is the vocals that give Sick/Sea that
finishing touch which sets them apart from the rest. The lyrics are honest —
every word intentional. The warm, articulate performance of Audrey Scott is
easy to sing along with — a rarity when coupled with the caliber of wit present
in each and every song this southern Texas band crafts together. Theirs are
songs of life and love and the discernment gained through human relationship.
It is child-like adventure that brought Sick/Sea together,
cherishing such works of literary fiction as Robert Louis Stevenson’s ‘Treasure
Island.’ It is this same adventurous spirit that propels them forward as musicians,
having completed successful tours, and plans in motion to move to the Texas
music capital of Austin. Their course is set and the horizon towards which they
sail looks ever brighter.
