Building on the bones of their 2006 debut, Shadows Rise,Travel by Sea return Spring of 2008 with their sophomore LP Days of My Escape. Once again crafted over the wire - separated by the wilderness between California and Colorado - Travel by Sea’s Kyle Kersten and Brian Kraft use the distance to their advantage. The space and airiness of the opening notes put the wheels in a slow motion descent down the San Diego highway, setting off an eleven song post-folk soundscape replete with hopeful melancholy and longing melodies. From pulsed hush to sparse country singe, Kraft provides a seemingly limitless sonic and instrumental palette of which to augment Kersten’s vocal vignettes. The Broken West’s Dan Iead and Pink Nasty guest.
