I really liked this Canadian heavy-psych band during it's short lifespan, always thought they had a promising future, but, like so many others,information on them is pretty scarce, but I do have the recorded works that they left for us, judge for yourselves.......according to Wikipedia (I only quote this becaue I think it sounds funny) " Due to obvious drug references in many of their lyrics, Sea of Green are largely classified as
stoner rock"......well, uh, gee. Thanks for that earth-shattering bulletin.
First release was 2000's very good EP "Northern Lights", including, if you beleive Wikipedia, seval "drug references" in the lyrics to "Look to the Sky" and "Move the Mountains".....the sound is good heavy-psych, obviously it'll remind you of the usual suspects.....their second EP, "Time to Fly" is pretty good as well, checking in at a VERY economical 15 minutes or so.....

Thier sole full length was 2003's fine "Chemical Vacation" (wonder if THAT title is a "drug reference"?)....It is a REALLY fine album, one of the best releases, in my opinion, of 2003, and of course it sank without a trace......such is life. Don't know what happened to them after that, perhaps they simply went back to their day jobs, but for my money, these are two fine EP's and one exceptional full length.....if any of you north of the border friends of the blog can provide any additional info (a bootleg or something would be awesome), please share up......usually the bands I have trouble finding info on are from Serbia or Japan, not Toronto......willing to bet they have some "unofficial" material floating around Canada somewhere, if any of you has any of it, please share!
