Austin band THE EASTERN SEA announce the release of their remarkable new album PLAGUE due out June 26 on the WhiteLabBlackLab label. Created in 2005 as the bedroom project of songwriter/vocalist Matthew Hines, The Eastern Sea quickly emerged as one of the Lone Star State's most talked about bands after the release of The Eastern Sea, a collection of two eponymous EPs in '08 and '09. The band earned the attention of the national press, made several festival appearances including SXSW, CMJ, FPH Summerfest, set out on a pair of national tours and firmly established themselves beyond their local loyal fanbase as a One To Watch.
The Eastern Sea began work on Plague, their first official full length, in 2010. The album was recorded to tape by Matt Smith (Ola Podrida, Golden Bear) at HOTTRACKS!!! in Austin and mastered by Jeff Lipton at Peerless Mastering (Bon Iver, Andrew Bird). Their most cohesive collection of songs to date, Plague combines the hypnotic rhythm of post-rock, the playful melodies of traditional American folk, and the dynamics of contemporary progressive indie-rock. Lyrically, frontman/multi-instruentalist Hines' boldly present vocals weave a revealing autobiographical narrative, developing themes of change, transition, and powerlessness over the course of Plague's twelve cohesive and compelling songs.
The Eastern Sea will be showcasing new songs at Stubbs on Friday, April 13. More touring tba.

"Wistful and hauntingly beautiful" - Austinist
"Warm and gentle and gorgeous and lush" - Space City Rock
"For such a young band they aren't afraid to tackle some seriously complex music...Their songs are massive numbers but pleasantly restrained with plenty of room for the vocalists to paint a picture." -KUT
