Reviews of SEA

From bouncy, mid-tempo numbers such as ‘Taj’ to the gentler introspection of ‘Colourful’ this is another lovingly crafted blend of distinctive compositions that will entice you back repeatedly.

Superb album with great memorable tunes and a ballsy production which really suits the band and these songs. Congratulations 10/10
