+ the point in the war where we knew we were lost

I didn't actually write this, Jasper (OMP founder) did but I did release it so I'm archiving it for your reading pleasure. Braving the Seabed / Deloris split 7-inch.

Two bands that have many things in parallel, Deloris and Braving The Seabed come together in this wonderfully paired back split 7". Firstly Deloris shine with the oblique war references in "The Point in the war where we knew we were lost". Frontman Marcus Teague's vocals fit nicely in the mellow melodies provided by the band.

Braving the Seabed on the other hand work similar in style but add a bit more flavour with the guitar work coming more in the foreground, and with keyboards and glockenspiel giving "Mapped Out in Our Thoughts" a nice constancy throughout.

Overall a fine effort from both bands, and the more subtle flavours do come out on the luscious 7" format brought out by Traffic Sounds and Steady Cam.
