The Sun And The Sea

The Sun And The Sea are the product of one of my favorite bands of all time. It is comprised of ex-members of the band The Graduate that called for an indefinite hiatus back in July of 2011, but it seems that some of the members weren't finished with music just yet. I was completely obessed with The Graduate. So when I found out about TSTS I was beyond excited. In early 2012 the band released their first EP as TSTS called Nightfalls. Check it out on Spotify!

When you listen to the EP it is apparent that the band is still trying to find their sound. The 7 tracks are like a meandering journey of ambient rock, but the direction for the band was set. It was a solid start. Check out my favorite track from the EP, Something We Can All Leave Behind.




Several months later TSTS came back with their latest release called Vega. Upon first listen to Vega I was blown away at the progress the band had made from their last EP. Every single song on Vega is something special. Listen to it on Spotify or check out my two favorite tracks out below.





Vega is definitely a departure in the right direction for TSTS. It is still ambient rock, but the electric guitars and drums are much more prevalent and the production is much better. This is one of those albums you can listen to over and over again and you will like each song more after every listen. This band may be a small, no-name band, but the members all have years of experience making music and touring the nation, and it shows.

It would mean so much to me if even one person supported this band. PLEASE purchase music from their BandCamp if you like what you hear, or at the very least throw them a 'Like' on Facebook!

Thank you, Enjoy! <3
