Lucy Bland Makes Waves

â€œYou might hear us at Starbuckâ€™s!â€ they proclaim on their official site. Lucy Bland are go-getters with immense talent. They are following up their debut EP Lucy Blandâ€™s First Recital with Down To Sea Level this month. â€œItâ€™s been a long journey on the seaâ€¦â€ but it seems as though Bland has their course set and steady.

â€œIâ€™ve come back down to sea level. Iâ€™m quieter now; few know me to make a sound.â€ Cat Beill softly attests on â€œSea Levelâ€. The songs are inspired by rain due to their atmospheric upbringing in the heart of Indie music, Seattle, Washington.

Artist: Lucy Bland
Album: Down To Sea Level

These are songs for a mood. Lilting and sleepy. In the cut â€œVeniceâ€, we find instrumentation reminiscent of Bjorkâ€™s musical imprint. And in every cut throughout, the musicality shines.

Potent ballads enriched by violins, cellos, accordions and the whirs of electronic intervention season Catâ€™s vocals. Picture a blank canvas in which each element adds a stroke of color and definition to it, creating a vision of seas and skies, enveloped in a thriving winter setting where trees grow tall with casting shadows.

While it teeters on the brink of repetition at times, Down to Sea Level is the perfect blend of cool warmth, seasonal celebration, and enthralling relaxation. Out March 18th -- We find it quite worth picking up.
