Out Now... SEA MONSTERS 2: THE BEST OF BRIGHTON

OUT NOW!
SEA MONSTERS 2
THE BEST OF BRIGHTON



Following last year’s fantastic celebration of Brighton’s musical underground. SEA MONSTERS is back, bigger and better than ever! Expanding by five extra bands and nearly 40 extra minutes Sea Monsters 2 presents the 23 most crucial bands in Brighton in 2012 across two intense CDs.

As always it was incredibly difficult to whittle the scene down to just 23 standout new artists. Across this comprehensive compilation you’ll get to hear the indie-pop perfection of Munich and Black Black Hills; the quirkiness of Restlesslist and Us Baby Bear Bones; the youthful exuberance of Tyrannosaurus Dead and Fear of Men; the electronic assault of DA-10 and The Physics House Band; the balls-out psychjamzzz of Negative Pegasus; and the heavier-than-thou dark-side of Sea Bastard and Plague Sermon; amongst many, many others. It’s an experimental set of music that switches genres more times in the space of two discs than even Madonna dared to, a real testament to the true depth and excitement of the Brighton scene in 2012.

SEA MONSTERS 2 - ARTIST PROFILE #12

HELIOPAUSE



Arriving in sometimes sunny Brighton by way of Belfast, HELIOPAUSE make beautiful, meditative, multi-textural psychedelic folk, with a kind of fevered hunger rarely seen in an acoustic two-piece. This is not a band merely going through the motions; writing songs just so they can play gigs; Rich and Niall of Heliopause make the music they make because it's what they have to do... if you boiled down the bones in large cylindrical vat, you most likely see the pattern E A D G B E etched into their DNA.


Giving away free copies of their phenomenal debut album, "Walk Into The Sea", we can think of no better band to kick of the first day of our festival than HELIOPAUSE.


Catch HELIOPAUSE, as well as 22 other fantastic Brighton bands at SEA MONSTERS, six straight nights of the most exciting Brighton bands, as well as on a internationally distributed CD compilation featuring tracks from all of the bands involved.

It’s a real love-letter to the Brighton music-scene, showcasing the shear wealth of raw talent available on our doorstep…

SEA MONSTERS 2 - ARTIST PROFILE #11

US BABY BEAR BONES



Newly reformed as a 3 piece, the impossibly ephemeral dream pop band, US BABY BEAR BONE, are sure to make Brighton drop everything and listen when they play the final night of Sea Monsters 2 on Saturday. Creating tracks not unlike those of CocoRosie, WHY?, and other longtime OIB favourites, the band are clearly not afraid of exploring new sounds and ideas.



Listening to their music you find yourself enlightened into dreamy world of acoustics, powerful drum beats and haunting yet gentle vocals. The ethereal vibes emitting from every corner of Us Baby Bear Bones is enough to persuade anyone to become captivated into their enchanting world during their shows.


Catch US BABY BEAR BONES, as well as 22 other fantastic Brighton bands at SEA MONSTERS, six straight nights of the most exciting Brighton bands, as well as on a internationally distributed CD compilation featuring tracks from all of the bands involved.
