Seahaven - Reverie Lagoon: Music for Escapism Only [4 CD]

On their sophomore full-length, Torrance, CA's Seahaven captures a dreamy, sprawling, airy southern California mood. Produced and engineered by Ben Brodin (Bright Eyes, Pete Yorn) at Omaha's ARC recording studio, the subtle combination of emo, indie and post-punk is brought to life by the uplifting natural production and orchestral instrumentation. Warm, beach-y reverb blankets equally contemplative and carefree sounding pop that ebbs and flows with rising strings and def percussion, making for Seahaven's most interesting and engaging songs yet.
