  • Description

    'Alaska' was recorded live in 5 days in December 2012 at Middletree Studios, East Nashville. It was produced by Joe Pisapia (Guster, K.D. Lang, Ben Folds Five). Including the title track, the songs include 'I'm The One', 'Lights Out', 'As The Crow Flies', 'Roxy' (a song written with Josh Rouse), 'Sea Of Regret', 'A Night On The Town', 'Karaoke Star', Wolfie', and 'Wild Honey'. Previously, the band have busked their way around the capital's landmarks, toured the UK, played Latitude Festival, performed on 'Later…With Jools Holland' as well as being introduced as "the best band in the world" by Danny Baker. The Word magazine (RIP) said "This is uncurdled pop music, the kind of thing you could sprinkle on your dreams and eat with a spoon", whilst the Guardian, Mojo, GQ, and Classic Rock all heaped plaudits on the band. The Silver Seas' Daniel Tashian and Jason Lehning were raised deep within the Nashville music scene. Tashian's dad Barry was lead singer of the Boston-based, mid-sixties cult combo The Remains and subsequently toured with Emmylou Harris' Hot Band. Grammy winning producer Lehning's dad Kyle is a well-respected country music producer and the former president of Asylum Records Nashville. While the young Lehning apprenticed behind the boards, Tashian was developing into a formidable singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Tashian, has a knack for creating instantly memorable melodies to pair with often plaintive lyrics, though he's no show-off; his craftsmanship seems effortless, as if he just dashed off these sneakily addictive numbers in his spare time. They are joined by David Gehrke on drums, and Joe Pisapia taking on bass duties on 'Alaska'.
