The Secret Sea (Amit Erez) is a cult-status indie icon from Tel Aviv.
He is one of the first and most substantial and influential songwriters to emerge in Israel this past decade, with incredible guitar finger-picking and emotional delivery. Active since 2003 and the second artist to sign with Anova music (Israel's leading indie label), he's released four albums under his own name, supported by European tours and festivals.

The Secret Sea took form in 2010 as a band led by Erez, releasing the “not about us” EP in 2012 and a highly acclaimed self-titled lp in 2013. In 2015 Erez parted ways with Anova and the band and relocated to Portland Oregon, while keeping the band name as his solo identity.

His new album was recorded and mixed at jackpot studio by Larry Crane (Elliott Smith, Built To Spill, Decemberists and many more), featuring Elliott Smith's drummer Paul Pulvirenti and Gil Assayas on keyboards. All vocals, guitars, bass, arrangements & production were done by Erez alone, making it the purest "Amit Erez" creation ever since his first EP "Black Light".
