Description/Reviews:
Although much of the music is light and breezy, at first listen it comes across as simple and easy, there is a complexity in the construction which retains the interest and rewards multiple listens. Interesting interweaving guitar lines bubble through the surf, pushed on by the easy drumming of Kahn and Ellett’s nimble bass runs. ...There are also moments of darker moods, more mysterious passages evoking the unknown element of that undersea world, and the mythology that has grown up around such mysteries.
