OLDEST SEA - "The Machines That Made Us Old"

From rural New Jersey, Oldest Sea is centered around the married couple of Samantha and Andrew Marandola. The two summon haunting, heartbreaking, ethereal doom; influences range from the funeral doom of Mournful Congregation, to avant-garde composer William Basinski and iconic vocalists such as Björk and Roy Orbison.

From vulnerable quavering to all-powerful soaring, Samantha’s crystalline vocals fully captivate. She describes the new album as "an expression of feminine rage, grief, and transformation... one long primal scream.”

No Clean Singing reports: “It’s a wholly transportive experience of contrasts and complements, a union of the ethereal and the staggeringly heavy. The spell it casts is heart-breaking and chilling, but in the music it feels like the bedrock of the earth is heaving and fracturing too.”

The album will be released via Darkest Records, the label owned by Jordan Cozza of HUSH.
