Influences: “Delicate, powerful and moving… a great representation of a band with a unique take on post rock…” The Hangar press release March 2008 ---------“A breath of fresh air for Queensland's post-rock scene… their instrumental soundscapes benefit from contrasting gentle-moving melodies with huge riffs that scream out with urgency… 8 out of 10” Jake 3 Tsunami Magazine April 2008 ----------“Turning heads and swaying opinions with their lush, cinematic and yet at times totally rock-n-roll soundscapes… we are highly impressed with this journey into their beautiful, sound-driven world…” Online music distributor Musicadium Feature Artist June 2008 ----------“A beautifully captivating mélange of post-rock, electronic flourishes and angular riffs, as well as one of Brisbane’s most promising bands… Tracks like “Fluid” and “Theme From An Airless Room” shimmer with post-apocalyptic melody and wide-screen melancholia and the duo’s ability to govern such gigantic tracks in a live environment will always remain impressive…” Matt O’Neill – Time Off Magazine reviews the “Baby Traces Static” show at The Zoo Brisbane on May 15 2008 ----------“Instrumental rock outfit The Sea Shall Not Have Them create the kind of pretty, ambient sounds showcased in new ep “TRACES”, which sees them tagged as one of Brisbane’s must-watch outfits this year…” Luke Hudson – Time Off Six Pack feature, May 2008 ----------“Honestly I’m blown away by the sound that comes from this duo and echoes out across the water. The word ‘big’ just doesn’t cut it… It’s the type of music that’s perfect to listen to with your eyes shut or in a dark room while imagining victorious movie scenes being played out in your head… You could almost lose track of time…” Gold Coast Music Industry Association’s Josie Cooper reviews the official launch party of “TRACES” June 2008 ----------Download the "TRACES" EP now from
