WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT THE SEA OF CORTEZ?
"The Shores pretty much throws a kitchen sink of influences such as the Beatles, Beach Boys and Neil Young into a lovely shuffle of a song"
- Nic Harcourt (KCRW) -
"I really enjoy the Sea of Cortez's album. It has an unique sound to it; when describing it to people I'd say it was is like Pinback and the Stone Roses love child that grew up on the West Coast."
- Ayad Al Adhamy - (Synths/Samples - Passion Pit)
“The Shores” is an exploratory 6:09 song that sees the band change pace multiple times, their emotions seemingly tossed about by the whims of the sea. It starts slow and simple with a low frequency that starts to percolate with instrumental inklings before giving way to lead man Christian Thomas singing “Testing the waters from the shore” as more traditional drum and bass lines start to surface. The song then accelerates significantly, the pace quickening and Thomas’ voice turning from longing and passive to more spirited and optimistic. This wave of energy quickly subsides and the song slowly washes in with nothing but simple acoustic guitar and Thomas singing “Floating out here, floating out here on my own” over and over again like the tide repeatedly washing over the sand. The song ends with a one line resolution being deposited on the shore: “I’ll keep on drifting, making my way to the shore.” - KEXP (Song Of The Day) -
