The Urban Sea deliver a smooth kiss-off to toxic friendship in latest single 'Silver Tongue'
Brisbane’s The Urban Sea bring a smooth kiss-off to a toxic friendship with new single, ‘Silver Tongue’, which is the second release to come from the band’s upcoming debut album, ‘Fall Back To Reason’
Littered with soulful horn lines, and a layer of Hammond organ, this track is silky and thick, with plenty of big band vibe. Smokey, yet smooth vocals, solid rhythm section, and timeless guitar tones round off a fantastic offering from the Brisbane outfit.
Written about a member of a previous band, the song is about working with someone who turns out to be less than trustworthy and so slippery that getting the truth from them is like nailing water to the wall. Despite the theme, ‘Silver Tongue’ manages to be a fun, upbeat, tongue in cheek tune that puts The Urban Sea's full arsenal of instruments on display. Recorded and mixed at Sound Out Studios by their very own Casper Hall, and mastered by Mathew Grey (Butterfingers, The Screaming Jets), the song is a hooky, brassy, indie rock offering reminiscent of bands such as Lime Cordiale and The Arctic Monkeys.
Well known around the live music venues and dive bars of Brisbane, The Urban Sea have been making some serious waves with their unique style of groove rock. With six members and an arsenal of instruments at their disposal, they are a genre-fluid melting pot of influences known for their huge live sound and songs that speak to fans across the musical spectrum.
The Urban Sea's first release 'Underground Love” was picked up by radio stations across the globe. It was quickly followed by the successful release of their debut self-titled EP featuring the single ‘You and Me’ which received national airplay on Double J, garnered thousands of streams across multiple platforms and put the band on the Australian music map. Now, with 'Silver Tongue’ and a full album ready for release, The Urban Sea are building up for a huge 2022.
‘Silver Tongue’ is out now on all streaming platforms.
