Led To Sea, Exray's, Deep Sea Arcade

Led to Sea is the solo project of Seattle-based violist Alex Guy and after spending recent years as a touring musician with Mirah and Laura Veirs, Led To Sea is proud to release her new album of beautiful orchestral and stripped-down songs for viola and voice. Into The Darkening Sky is currently available nationwide. With Andrew Bird and St. Vincent comparisons abound, her voice has a hypnotic quality to it, when coupled with her viola, silence the audience.

Exray's slips through the genre cracks and past the time bandits to deliver an eclectic new voice. The San Francisco based duo of Jon Bernson and Michael Falsetto-Mapp specialize in lo-fi grime pop, undeniable songs and man versus machine experimentation. Throw in some precarious beats, voice mail vocals, plenty of short-circuited melodies and you have undusted yet addictive gems for an imperfect future. Their debut cassette EP 'Ammunition Teeth' is released on 10.12.10 via the Howells Transmitter art collective & label (it will also be available digitally). The Exray's S/T LP will arrive on 1.25.11.

Sydney’s Deep Sea Arcade’s reverberated pop recalls Portishead and The Zombies yet with a character and charm that is undeniably unique. Ethereal guitars and lyrical quirks will transport the listener to a dark, watery world of mystery and enchantment, and leave their heads swimming with unforgettable melodies. As winners of the Hopetoun’s 2008 Homebake/EMI incentive and with appearances at Peat’s Ridge Festival and Playground Weekender, Deep Sea Arcade have also played shows with Aussie acts such as Bluejuice, Expatriate, Yves Klein Blue, Holly Throsby, Jack Ladder and Philadelphia Grand Jury, Whitley and Kid Sam.
