Greek doom-gaze act Church Of The Sea released its debut full-length, Odalisque, on 8 April. The entire Odalisque album is available for listening in the player below.
Odalisque got introduced to us a few weeks ago with the song that brings the title of the album, which constitutes the evolution of Church Of The Sea. Dark electronic rock combines the atmosphere of shoegaze with the weight of doom. A dreamy mood is reflected in the ethereal vocals, but also in the distorted sounds of the guitar and the synths. Beats that contribute to building the atmosphere, in addition to simply determining the rhythm, by introducing unique sampled sounds, such as broken piano strings or the bow of a violin on a cymbal.
Odalisque is an ode to unfulfilled desire, wrong choices and the awareness that if we could go back in time, we would repeat exactly the same mistakes and participate again and again in the same sadistic dance with absolute consciousness.
Church Of The Sea was formed in 2017 in Athens, Greece, when three individuals came together to create a distinct sound, balancing between doom and dark electronic rock. They embrace fuzzed sounds, heavy distorted beats and ethereal, chant-like vocals. The band consist of Irini (vocals), Vangelis (guitars) and Alex (synths and samples). Link
