Album Notes & Community Reviews

Brooklyn trio The Essex Green leaned heavily into the bright, sunny aesthetics of 1960s pop on their third album, 'Cannibal Sea'. The incredibly melodic record features lush, multi-part vocal harmonies and upbeat, chiming jangle pop guitars heavily inspired by classic Laurel Canyon and British Invasion sounds.
