"Days of My Escape" now available. Purchase here...
Building on the bones of their 2006 debut, Shadows Rise, Travel by Sea return Spring of 2008 with their sophomore LP Days of My Escape. Once again crafted over the wire - separated by the wilderness between California and Colorado - Travel by Sea’s Kyle Kersten and Brian Kraft use the distance to their advantage. The space and airiness of the opening notes put the wheels in a slow motion descent down the San Diego highway, setting off an eleven song post-folk soundscape replete with hopeful melancholy and longing melodies. From pulsed hush to sparse country singe, Kraft provides a seemingly limitless sonic and instrumental palette of which to augment Kersten’s vocal vignettes. The Broken West’s Dan Iead and Pink Nasty guest.
GENTS - much ass kicking power to your feet, arms and heads. I wish that I could be there to witness the Travels this week. Instead, I will be finding myself (yet again, ho hum) somewhere in the Hollister HIlls, deep in to a Prilosec snorting vision quest. BEst witches, Corby

All great questions must be raised by great voices, and the greatest voice is the voice of the people - speaking out - in prose, or painting or poetry or music; speaking out - in homes and halls, streets and farms, courts and cafes - let that voice speak and the stillness you hear will be the gratitude of mankind.
