Galway, Ireland's the Low Sea have enjoyed a busy but ultimately successful year. The band's debut album Las Olas (Spanish for The Sea) provided an excellent showcase for the duo's sultry electronica, and was good enough to see them snapped up by the fast-emerging Lefse Records (who also boast the likes of Neon Indian, Keepaway and How To Dress Well amongst their ranks). Their first official release under Lefse is new 6-track EP The Light, which includes a couple of cuts from Las Olas, plus a bundle of new songs.
Such is the sophistication of the Low Sea's sound, it's easy to forget that they comprise just two members; when Billie turns up the sass on the likes of Save My Soul, her enunciated drawl recalls Mazzy Star, whilst the dark, scuzzy soundscapes provided by Bobby D bring bands such as Spacemen 3 to mind.
The Light is out now. A limited edition of the band's debut Las Olas is available from the band's website.
Listen to Save My Soul for a limited time on the Hear The Secret music player.
