A Burial At Sea

A Burial At Sea is a musical collective known for their unique blend of post-rock, shoegaze, math-metal, and afro-jazz. The band was founded by Northern Irish-born musicians Patrick Blaney and Dara Tohill, who are now based in Liverpool. Over time, A Burial At Sea has evolved into a close-knit group of musicians. Their latest album, "Close to Home," reflects a deep connection to the places and people that have shaped them. The album was crafted through a series of spontaneous writing sessions, often drawing inspiration from personal narratives and landscapes. The band's sound is characterized by its experimental nature, incorporating elements like the trumpet, which has become a defining feature of their music. A Burial At Sea draws inspiration from a wide range of artists, including Holy Fawn, Hammock, The War on Drugs, Bon Iver, and M83.

Their music often explores themes of nostalgia and emotional depth, with tracks named after significant locations and family members. The band's approach to music creation is organic and laptop-driven, which has led to a collection of songs that are both emotionally resonant and technically challenging. As they look to the future, A Burial At Sea is considering new musical directions, including the possibility of an ambient record.
