Tipped by many to become one of the most exciting and unique British guitar bands of the decade off the back of rapturous critical acclaim, Pale | Seas, on the eve of the release of a long-anticipated debut album, simply disappeared. No hiatus announcement, no press release, nothing. SHARE LYRIC VIDEO FOR NEW TRACK 'SOMEDAY' WATCH HERE: https://youtu.be/JkDLsq9lzsk
For the following two years the band, led by jeweled enigmatic frontman Jacob Scott alongside Graham Poole (Lead Guitar), Matthew Bishop (Bass) & Andrew Richardson (Drums), emitted no signal, instead embarking upon a period of prolonged isolation. The decision to do so would go on to define the band's dark, otherworldly and expansive sound. To capture it and enhance it further the band enlisted the help of producer Chris Potter (The Verve, Urban Hymns) & Paul Butler (Michael Kiwanuka, Devendra Banhart). Scott's influences include Neil Young, P.J. Harvey, Elliott Smith and Half Japanese (who Scott says, "got me to pick up a guitar in the first place") - but as a rule of thumb, it's not been music that's shaped who he is as an artist. His mother, a painter, was a much bigger influence. "I learned more from growing up with her than I have from music. She found a way to channel her life experiences into something beautiful and real. To see that, to witness someone so close to you turning their life in to art was, to me, more powerful than hearing any band play."Videos
