The Silver Seas are set to release a new single, ‘Roxy’ on The Lights label via EMI on October 28th 2013.  Co-written with Josh Rouse, it’s taken from their fourth album “Alaska” which was released earlier this year to rave reviews. The track was recorded at Middletree Studios, East Nashville and produced by Joe Pisapia (K.D. Lang, Ben Folds Five),

You can listen to the single here:

A love song set in London’s Camden Town ‘Roxy’ is “about love realized too late. It's a ‘one that got away’ kind of song I wrote with Josh Rouse over Skype. Two different continents, two guitars,one moment, one song. I imagined I was Suzanne Vega when I sang the outro” commented singer Daniel Tashian.  Whilst Josh Rouse said "Daniel is my favourite co-writer and this is a great pop tune written over Skype!"

Following their performances at Cornbury and Westport Festivals, and a sold out show at London’s Lexington earlier this year, The Silver Seas return to the UK as support on the Graham Parker & The Rumour tour in October.  Singer Tashian will also be playing a solo headline show at Bush Hall on October 27th.

Previously, the band have busked their way around the capital’s landmarks, toured the UK, played Latitude and Glastonbury Festival, performed on ‘Later…With Jools Holland’ as well as being introduced as “the best band in the world” by Danny Baker.  

The Silver Seas’ Daniel Tashian and Jason Lehning were raised deep within the Nashville music scene. Tashian’s dad Barry was lead singer of the Boston-based, mid-sixties cult combo The Remains and subsequently toured with Emmylou Harris’ Hot Band. His debut album was produced by T Bone Burnett.  Grammy winning producer Lehning’s dad Kyle is a well-respected country music producer and the former president of Asylum Records Nashville. While the young Lehning apprenticed behind the boards, Tashian was developing into a formidable singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Tashian, has a knack for creating instantly memorable melodies to pair with often plaintive lyrics, though he’s no show-off; his craftsmanship seems effortless, as if he just dashed off these sneakily addictive numbers in his spare time.  They are joined by David Gehrke on drums, and Joe Pisapia taking on bass duties on ‘Alaska’.
