Ball of Wax 49 Songs: Solvents – “Sea”

A couple of years after the release of the relatively aggressive LP Modern Dystopia (and man, how apt that title feels right now), Solvents seem to have pivoted back to their strummy/croony roots – at least for the soft, wistful tune “Sea.” It’s fun to hear them getting rowdy with a full band, but I really do love the sound of Jarrod and Emily’s voices and fiddle doing their thing over some softly strummed chords. They’ve been doing just this – playing guitar and fiddle and singing – for years, and it shows. Like the body of water it’s named after, “Sea” is the perfect thing to cool you off by a few degrees in this sweltering summer heat.
