At
Sea released their full-length debut, A New Machine this
week via Soap Media/CEN/RED. The album is featured over
at RDIOin the NEW
MUSIC TUESDAY PLAYLIST and you can listen to A New Machine in
full at RDIO at http://rd.io/x/QVB4kSJE8Vs.
A New Machine is melodic; equal parts
moody electronics and big guitars, with lyrics both personal and quietly
political. The music conjures up everyone from the likes of Jeff Buckley and
Incubus to Doves and Death Cab for Cutie, without really sounding like any of
them. Highlighted as a NEW & NOTEWORTHY release at iTunes,
you can purchase A New Machine here.
"Everything you want in alternative pop. It’s
catchy, but it doesn’t sound artificially built for radio. It’s guitar driven,
but there’s enough electronic to make it sound modern and fresh.”

“They make dreamy sounds for dreamers.”

“The Brooklyn trio has culminated music that is pure and emotional with melodies that are stripped down and beautiful.”

Lyrically, the songs on A New Machine feature an
apocalyptic undertone, inspired by the recent spate of natural disasters, the
Occupy Wall Street movement and the continued whitewashing of New York’s
culture. It’s songwriter Jason Brody’s attempt to inject a little substance
into the modern musical climate. “Now there's so much music out there and it’s
so easy to get to,” he says. “But it’s also easy to forget that any music we
make and listen to was inspired by music that was made from a more political
and reactionary point of view. There was an intent behind it all that’s no
longer there.”
In Jason’s own words: “At the end of the day I’ve realized
that it’s all about writing a great song. Strip away all the fashion, all the
production, all the other elements that go with the experience of music, and it
really comes down to that. That’s what gets people, what touches them. That’s
where I want to be and what I want to do.”
