来自悉尼的六人乐队We Lost The Sea无疑是当下最优秀的器乐摇滚乐团之一，他们的音乐融合了氛围、前卫摇滚、后摇等多种元素，在宏大气度与暗色调旋律的笼罩下，如同波澜壮阔的史诗画卷，磅礴而震撼。他们曾与Rosetta 、This Will Destroy You 等大牌乐队一同巡演，是澳大利亚以及国际上公认的杰出现场乐队。
 
We Lost The Sea组建于2007年，从2010年发布首张专辑《Crimea》开始，风格由最初的后金属转变为后摇，并可谓是相当成功、完美的转型。We Lost The Sea成军十年以来共推出3张专辑，一度占领各大音乐网站版面，众多媒体、乐评家一直对其投以重点关注，更是Bandcamp上绝对畅销的乐队之一，在国内音乐平台也享有很高的呼声。
We Lost The Sea are a progressive post-rock band from Sydney Australia.
Crushing guitar noise with post-rock atmospherics ...and melody from a large, dimly lit space.
Formed in 2007, they released their first record entitled ‘Crimea’ - engineered and mixed by Magnus Lindberg in mid 2010.
Late last year they released their second record 'The Quietest Place on Earth' through Bird's Robe Records, to acclaim from both fans and critics alike at home and internationally, making best album lists of 2012 above bands like Converge and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and best sellers on Bandcamp.
At the start of 2012, there was a slight change of line up and this breathed fresh air into the band. They kicked off the second half of 2012 with a bang, supporting Rosetta (US) and playing a handful of highly successful local shows including their sold out album launch. Lochlan Watt from Triple j's THE RACKET, put We Lost The Sea's performance supporting Rosetta as the number one Australian performance of the year in the Drum Media writers poll.
In March 2013, their close friend and vocalist of the band, Chris Torpy, sadly took his own life aged only 24. This, naturally, was devastating for the band and the rest of 2013 was a rough ride, playing only 2 shows. One was supporting This Will Destroy You at the Annandale, which was a special and emotional show for band, friends and fans alike, being the first show without Chris since the formation of the band. The other supporting The Red Paintings at the HiFi in Sydney. Both shows had great reviews and it was a powerful performance so soon after the tragedy.
2014 sees the band back on form and working on a third LP. This record will be a slight shift away from their old dynamic, not so unintentional as maturing in sound, and the most personally experimental so far. However, it will still sound like We Lost The Sea, they assured.
Expect some big things from this 6 piece.
What's Critics have said:
"(we Lost the sea) are capable of producing music that is on-par — if not better than — the vast majority of what is offered internationally. I only hope a day will come where bands such as We Lost the Sea get the attention they serve on the world stage" - Metalobsession.net
"We Lost The Sea are a reckoning force, and a breath of fresh air when everyone all, but thought a genre was dead. It wasn’t it was just being reinvented down under." - blackcountryrock.org (US)
"The compostitions are thoughtful, the performances faultless. This all adds up to an aural journey packed with emotion, tension, drifting highs and intense, crushing lows that treads an unexpected path" - Thisisnotascene.com
"The relatively simple production does give the impression that We Lost The Sea are tremendous live and I bet they are. I hope these guys continue to push themselves creatively and have a long career as a band. I know I am excited to hear what they do next." - Echoesanddust.com
"We Lost the Sea have made themselves a great album with “The Quietest Place on Earth” and one that I will surely listen to over and over again. It’s an album of contrast with clean mellow passages flowing together with sludgy, heavy arrangements. It’s music that truly deserves the listener’s attention and if you are ready and willing you will be greatly rewarded with some killer music." - Midwinterfires.com
