Sea Snakes

Toronto, ON

A sea snake ought to be a dull creature, not particularly menacing, swimming alone through salted-waters. I can’t realistically imagine it hunting or stalking, coming to the mainland, coiled, hiding in the tall grass. I’d see a sea snake in the belly of a whale and it would survive there. Sometime in the fall, 2002, Sea snakes abruptly became a band. They thought they would play quiet songs, and sometimes they still do. By 2003 their summer plans included the recording of a short ep. In true fashion they worked slowly and did not stop until they had recorded their first full length record and a few more songs to boot. The record was made in the abandoned parts of a century-old house scheduled for demolition. It was poorly kept and when the sun went down they played in the dark.
