Sea Caves’ new album Bright Forest (out on the 5th February) is an orchestral indie rock album filled with stories of longing and aspiration with hints of the ever-changing backdrop of the mountains and the forest.

This excellent cut of scrappy garage tinged indie rock is the first taste we’ve had for a while from Leland Sundries.

It is taken from forthcoming debt long-player Music For Outcasts which is due in early February next year. The bones of the record actually came together … Continue reading Leland Sundries – Radiator Sabotage
