    It's a Friday new single from Drink The Sea! "Tuareg Asteroid" is literally the first riff that Alain brought to Barrett’s studio in Olympia, WA. They immediately jammed it out together on just drums and guitar, and then they presented it to the band as a potential song. That’s when the band knew they were getting into something highly experimental - but that’s also where the coolest ideas emerge. The band worked on it again at Alain’s studio in Santiago, Chile, and then finished the final overdubs with Peter, Duke, and Lisette earlier this year back where it started, in Olympia, WA. Lisette played the gamelans, Duke shredded the soprano sax solo, and Peter made the song sound solid and cohesive. Barrett and Alain do the lead vocals together, lyrics are by Alain. The song references some of the best indigenous music that comes out of North Africa, and the video by Tad Fettig melds the Apollo 11 moon landing with footage from Barrett & Tad’s trip to the Atacama Desert in northern Chile last year. This is the final single before Drink The Sea’s Album I drops next Friday September 19th!

    Drink The Sea debut album #II is officially out today! It's another 11 brand news songs, which we recorded at the same time as album #I. We just thought it would be kind of cool and something we had never done before in our previous bands, to release two debut albums back to back. So here it is, and it's available on all digital platforms around the world, and soon it'll be available as a double CD and gatefold double LP.
