At long last, the London based outfit Ivory Seas announce the release of their long-awaited debut AA single. Out on December 3, 'Still Brooding' / 'Mothers Tongue' is produced by Richard Formby.
Adam Heron (vocals / keys / Ggitar) Thomas Walker (guitar / vocals / keys) met at Southampton University whilst both studying Fine Art Photography in 2008. During their studies, the pair began to write and demo songs until leaving the south coast in pursuit of finding other musicians in London.
In 2010 Adam met George Latham (drums / pad) whilst working at a record shop near Soho and showed him some early demos. The trio began rehearsing in a derelict pub in South London before meeting Brendan O’Boyle (bass). With the completed line up the band relocated to East London to a bedroom come makeshift studio.
Settling themselves there amongst vintage keyboards and other instruments that adorned the room, they spent the next few months writing, experimenting and developing their intricate brand of ambient pop. They then sought out Mercury nominated producer Richard Formby (Wild Beasts, Egyptian Hip Hop, Darkstar), and after striking an initial bond were invited to record in his Leeds studio.
Ivory Seas play a free show tomorrow (November 3) at The Nest in Stoke Newington, London, followed by a date at The Lexington, London, with Get People and Cave Painting on December 6.
