I first heard of Sea Cycles via Narrow/Arrow, the emo/post hardcore labelmates of the band. This duo is touring together and I heard they will be at Audiofeed, as well as playing one of my favorite venues in Columbus – Brothers Drake Meadery. I recently reviewed their LP Ground & Air out of curiousity, and it is something really interesting. Soothing and disquieting at once. I’m very interested to see how their live show will translate to a tent in Urbana, Illinois. I’m guessing someplace dark and vibey would be better, but I’m anxious to be surprised. Enjoy their Audiofeed Q&A!
