Viewing: A Sea of Heroes - View all posts

Wow, what a ride it's been!

Compiling the full series video was like the biggest flash from the past imaginable. All those endless hours trying to get camera angles, lighting, set pieces but most importantly the music to…

I can still recall clear as day the first time I heard Elliott Smith. It was 'A Fond Farewell' somewhere on a new music compilation. I was shocked both at not having heard of him before and to learn…

This video is our second last track from 'A Sea of Heroes', and although we only put out about 3 of these a month, time just seems to be flying by. There's just been such a wonderful flurry…

Okay, so first off: This band is up there with The Beatles for me. Not in terms of popularity, but in terms of importance. For me, mind. They're the band that I've followed (almost) since they started out, I've…

Only four more songs to go in our 'Sea of Heroes'! This is one of my favourite arrangements for this series.

This is also a very important song to me personally for a number of reasons. I didn't…

Hello everyone, or today rather Hallo zusammen,

yeah, it's a special one today. As some of you know or have read in our bio, I am a child of two harbour cities separated by a sea, and yeah…

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

And don't we have just the right thing for you to celebrate this day! Granted, it's a song about being fed up with people so bad that you turn to liking birds (no…

Okay, so with this one I seriously broke a sweat! Only when you've dialed in a cool tempo for the opening riff do you realize how impossibly fast you'll have to deliver the lyrics in the verses! Geeeezzz... But…

Here we are then, back again with more of 'A Sea of Heroes'! And no, we haven't forgotten about the video for 'The Funny One' off of the new EP, but the video shoot's proving a bit harder to…

    Some records – and I’m talking about actual albums here – just speak directly to your soul. It’s almost as if you’d written the record yourself regardless of whether you actually play an instrument or not. I knew ’Songs…

    This is to me as close as it gets to a perfect song. It maybe comes on a bit unassuming on ’The King Is Dead’, but it’s just not the same record in my eyes without this song. I…

   I’ve followed Beck since ’Loser’, some times more closely than other times. But what I find so remarkable about him – as many others do as well – is the journey he’s taken and all the while keeping so…

    I remember there were only two artists that I listened to as a kid. My mother made me sit down with headphones on and put some Mozart on. That was pure heaven to me. It took me to another…

    So Midlake is one of the bands whose influence I think you’ll be able to hear on the album, particularly on ’The Undertaker’. Probably less so on our first EP or even the upcoming one. But regardless of that…

Welcome to A Sea of Heroes! 

This is my tribute to the bands and artists who have been an inspiration during the years and have helped to shape the aura around the sound of The Fisherman & The Sea…

Hey all,

so we're playing tonight at Bulevardin Kahvisalonki (Bulevardi 1, downtown Helsinki, be there!!), but we're also launching our Youtube series 'A Sea of Heroes' on October 4th – and we'll get the whole show on the road…
