Album Notes & Community Reviews

Husband-and-wife duo Brian and Maryrose Crook deliver a haunting slice of New Zealand isolation on their third full-length. 'A Dream of the Sea' balances stark, country-inflected melodies with tempestuous squalls of electric guitar feedback, resulting in a dark, atmospheric interpretation of the classic Dunedin Sound.
