"A Message From The Sea" is a lush love song to all things analog. Frontwoman Julie Carpenter's mesmerizing throwback vocals are threaded together with the raw jangle of LA's burgeoning freak folk scene. Texas-born Carpenter has toured as violinist with THE EELS, SPIRITUALIZED, LOVE with ARTHUR LEE, and BODIES OF WATER, and was a violinist/vocalist for Los Angeles folk rockers LISTING SHIP. The eight songs on the album navigate an evocative soundscape ranging in mood from a Velvet Underground-inspired Americana jubilee to an anarchic musicbox on a sunken ship. Beautiful gatefold sleeve, with digital download card. Limited hand-numbered (to 100) version with "pop-up" gatefold sleeve.
