Spill

Acoustic demo. 

Recorded Feb 2012 at Troy Horse studios, Alexandria.

Tried to keep the alarm clocks set 
and smoothed out all the edges 
talked between the gaps 
while our minds kept ticking over 
with words we didn't get to say 

Summer crept on in 
sinking in it's teeth 
in our dreams there were 
photo albums of the beach 
and a soft calling 

Being told to adjust 
being asked to wash our hands clean 
but it's harder than you'd think 
and the nights don't settle easily 

I think this might 
require more than time

Everyone Was Swimming

Track 1 from 'The Coloured Heart EP'

Found At Sea are a Sydney-based five piece who have been creating music since 2005, taking a slow burn method in crafting their own unique take on indie pop/rock.

With influences from acts like The National, Bon Iver, Grizzly Bear and M83, the band combine story-telling, melodic indie with atmospheric synth-tinged widescreen pop. 

They released their debut album 'Lumières' in 2010. The album was recorded and mixed by ARIA winning producer Paul Mckercher (Sarah Blasko, Augie March, You Am I) and toured it throughout that year, clocking up kms to Melbourne, Newcastle, Canberra and beyond.

2013 sees the release of The Coloured Heart EP, a 5 song collection which showcases an evolution in the band's songwriting and sound, takes their guitar-driven melodic indie into more nuanced and textured territories.
