Following on from acclaimed albums, Goodbye Weather and Council Tree, and his lauded solo EP debut, Seagull release their third full length album, Ocean From Above, self-produced by Chris Bolton and mixed by Colin Leadbetter (Whitley, Dirt Farmer).
Evolving since 2006, Seagull is a band fronted by songwriter and classically trained guitarist Chris Bolton, based in Melbourne, Australia. His first EP caught the ears of radio presenters across the country, including Zan Rowe who described single Train Tracks as “…beautiful stuff. This guy is definitely one to watch.”
Moving away slightly from the intensity of moments on sophomore album Council Tree, Ocean From Above lulls listeners with it’s delicate arrangements and meditative spaces.
Ocean From Above is an emotionally and musically rich album from a songwriter and band that have honed their craft over several acclaimed releases, touring with such luminaries as Seeker Lover Keeper, Bearhug, Whitley and Kid Sam.
Seagull just finished a tour with Whitley in Oct/Nov 2013 playing solo sets nationally, and are hosting an end of year shin-dig to say thank you to fans for supporting their pozible campaign at The Grace Darling in Melbourne on 14th December.
Ocean From Above was released on October 4th through Two Bright Lakes/ Remote Control and is distributed by Inertia nationally.
The album will be released on vinyl in 2014.
