Album review: The Silver Seas, Alaska (The Lights Label)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Silver Seas’ frontman Daniel Tashian has paid lip-service to the actual state of Alaska when explaining this album, but all the evidence – references to 1991, red flannel shirts and carrying records under your arms – suggests that he still hasn’t got over the girl he fancied 20 years ago.
It’s tailor-made for soundtracking a soft-focus indie movie. It’s what The Feeling might sound like if they were American; endlessly “nice”, but with nothing to stir the soul.
