The Open Sea reviews...
“Kingsbury are buried in a resonant cavern full of downcast melodies and spacious arrangements, with a slightly trippy patina mixing up the metaphor. They sound nothing like that giddy pop band The Kingsbury Manx (which is why I avoided them for so long), and this EP (their second) is a fine addition to the canon of Orlando-bands-who-shouldn''t-be-from Orlando. The linchpin in the group''s sound is the interplay between the piano (which drives most of the melodies) and the guitars (which provide most of the atmosphere); while the rhythm section is stretching-stretching-stretching, these instruments are tussling, making for an earthy yet extraterrestrial sort of racket. Singer Bruce Reed could probably sing in a little bigger voice than his subsonic mumble/whisper, but why should he bother?” –Orlando Weekly
“This Orlando quintet come from the Red House Painters school of emotional hard knocks, as the lonely piano riff of the title track to their second EP bears a remarkable resemblance to Mr. Kozelek’s “Mistress” and singer Bruce Reed gets the breathy, forlorn, “poor, poor, pitiful me” vocal inflections down pat. His sexy, deliberate, Mark Knopfler-meets-Steve Kilbey vocals on “Oh Captain, My Captain” imbue the track with a distinct Church vibe, which is borne out by the meandering ooze of its musical accompaniment – sort of like psychedelic molasses… ...Kingsbury have hit upon a formula as “an American Church” that is unique and worthy of further exploration.” – 8/10, Jeff Penczak, https://www.tradebit.com
“The Open Sea is haunting, melancholic and capable of emotional enormity.” – https://www.tradebit.com
“Hidden beneath the lush, gentle waves of the new release, The Open Sea EP, rests the weary bones of haunting and sophisticated dream-core. The three tracks laid onto this disc are sparse, beautiful and fading. It’s the eerie sound the moon makes slipping across the motionless sea, the whispers of a cold ghost-ship seaman lost, longing for home. Their instruments and feel on this EP just seem to echo out into this expansive void; the sound that they achieve really is the vision of the open sea. Its impressive, and it recalls that same hopeless feeling Killing Moon chills into your heart.” –Left off the https://www.tradebit.com
“This CD is definitely going in my top favorites of the year. Kingsbury just released a teasing three-song EP, making me bite my fingernails for a full-length since I’ve already listened to this EP a billion times.” – Connections
