Where The Land Meets The Sea have a great thing going on here as their debut EP "Listen For The Gulls" keenly demonstrates. "Listen For The Gulls" is a five strong tracklist of musical experimentation that results in an unexpected, joyful and playful sound.

Where The Land Meets The Sea hail from Boston in the United States and have a combined musical arsenal of Drums, Guitars, Vocals, Synthesizers and Keyboards. Everything is played to an up-tempo beat and brilliantly layered with vocal harmonies. Where The Land Meets The Sea's use of their synthesisers and samples offers a ‘feel good’ effect to the songs from start to finish.

The self released "Listen for the Gulls " EP opens with a blend of vocal sampled monologues before bursting in to the explosive song ‘Little Bout’. Although "Listen For The Gulls" seems to take a slower approach as the EP progresses, the resulting slower songs are neither negative or sad, but rather relaxed giving Where The Land Meets The Sea a chance to show off their musical diversity with tracks like ‘Learn To Swim’.

"Listen For The Gulls" has an overall positive feel to itand also appears to have a strong, modern Emo influence that crops up in the odd track here and there. This subtle genre reference point is disguised extremely well in the good nature and innocence that the band express in their song writing.

"Listen For The Gulls" is an exceptional debut EP that any artist would be proud to call their own. Personally I have a lot of time for any band that releases any of their music on their own which goes to show just how far and how much effort the Boston quartet are putting in to their rather excellent band.
