About
The Eastern Sea knows how to impress. They know how to captivate. They know how to enchant, to hook, and to connect. For many bands, doing these things takes a noticeable effect and yet for this Austin-based band, it all happens so naturally that you never really see it until your feet are tapping and your emotions are running high. Their 2012 full-length, Plague, was one of our favorites of the year for a variety of reasons, but on top of the list is the simple fact that we connected with it on such a personal level that it was impossible to put down. The songs were all gripping, heartfelt, and so very obviously an honest point of view. After corresponding for over a year, the band made it to Brooklyn for a Buzzsession at Degraw Sound in Gowanus where they performed two songs, “The Mountain” and “China Untitled, One”, both of which can be seen and downloaded for free below.

‘Buzzsessions’ is a live session series made by The Wild Honey Pie. With each new episode, we travel with a different band to a different part of New York City and record sometimes-intimate/sometimes-wild versions of two or three songs. This Buzzsession was shot at Degraw Sound, a Brooklyn recording studio on the Park Slope/Gowanus border, owned and operated by producer/engineer/musician Ben Rice (Blackbells, The Mooney Suzuki).
