Rooms at Sea was recorded at Ferguson's own Breathing Canyon studio in Lagunitas, California, during the first half of 2020. Primarily using a baritone guitar, a Casio sk-1 (the classic '80's "toy" sampling keyboard), and an analog delay pedal that Ferguson designed and built himself. The music is like an abstraction that recalls the liquid guitar melodies that featured prominently as his aural signature (and would not be out of place in his Longwave work) LISTEN/BUY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/597bc08d725e25118d0f837e/1588249832834-RFQWGQEIPQJ1E9DCD8YV/havoc-3000x3000+copy.jpg RELEASES - THE BLESSED ISLES: Gone Latest single “Gone” is matched with 3 equally sublime tracks for the extended play release “Havoc”. The guitar/synth/pop duo continues to showcase an affinity for grazing the stratosphere with lush instrumentation enveloping crafted pop songs dealing the uncertainty of forging ahead after entangling devotion with transgression. New tracks "Visions", "Right Here" and title track "Havoc" showcase a wider range of electronic instrumentation and broadens the band’s signature sound of expansive guitars and electronic pop. While the broadened sonic palette lends texture and depth to the compositions, the focused songwriting remains the centerpiece. Tuneful and introspective, the songs voice defiance in the face of adversity.

The 18 track score balances plush electronic terrain with piano, violin, cello and percussion as it aurally narrates and translates an expanse of environments that encompasses the seemingly endless visually rich and vivid hues of the Iranian country-side, the sophisticated urbanity of modern-day Tehran and the paranoid and stifling mental constraint of an artist caught in the throes of autocratic government control.

Musically shifting between guitar effect-laden bursts, merciful piano ballads and subtle electronic psychedelics, the EP places the band firmly, as one reviewer maintains, “between the Beatles and ‘The Bends’”.

A lighter side of the Brooklyn-based singer songwriter that walks the fine line between inertia and apathy, anchored by looping acoustic chords against steady piano and drums.
