"Looking like a posse of professors on a spree, Submarine Fleet seem endearingly un-rock 'n' roll. The vocalist looms quizzically at the mic as if about to deliver a lecture on Etruscan pottery; the guitarist, wearing a velvet jacket (he's obviously the bohemian of the staff room) weaves around on stage as if trying to dodge the flying fragments of music he's wrenching from his instrument. The vocals are smooth and strong, and the overall impression is of a kind of psychedelic after-darkness, a dense mass of sound boiling up like steam from the sidewalks, but with detail and little shafts of light in there, too. For all the guitarist's gyrations, Submarine Fleet seem a fairly self-effacing bunch, content to stand in the half-light and let the music assert itself. But, low key though they might be, they're good."

http://www.nemesis.to/go.htmSubmarine Fleet: An energized ambient cocophony of lush, dark tones, deep melodious voices and cobra charming rhythms.Since 2005, the sublime shoegazery songs of Submarine Fleet have been stealthily gathering adherents across America and beyond. On the strength of 2005's self released EP "In A Case Of Fire" , the band was chosen to perform at NYC's Drop Dead Festival , as well as Portland's Convergence13 gothic music festival. Submarine Fleet's atmospheric soundscapes have found their way into independent film as well, most notably with four songs featured in Per Anderson's feature length masterpiece "Stanley Cuba" .Whilst remaining a stealthy gem in Portland's sprawling music scene, Submarine Fleet opted to spend the better part of 2006 writing and recording new songs, which yielded in 2007 the compelling full length album "A Very Strange Sight in the Distance" . "...Strange Sight..." is released on the band's own Below Sea Level Recordings label and is available internationally through Projekt/Darkwave Distribution, CDBaby and electronically through iTunes.FOR BOOKING CONTACT
