C: Literary Embellishment
Nate Meng and The Stolen Sea are a band. They are individuals. They are love and anger. They are the thrill of a chaotic universe. They write songs about all of us. (-Nate)
The Stolen Sea is a musical collective started by founding member and multi-instrumentalist Nate Meng. As such the band takes turns showcasing the muscial ideas of each of its members as well as evolving compositions from the collective as a whole. The Band is currently working on an upcoming release titled ‘Blanket Songs’ that features John Hitchcock’s exploration of Kiowa and Commanche songs and ghost stories, as well as two additional releases bringing to life the unique songwriting of Nate Meng and collaborator Jess Estes.(-Lance Owens, Artworking)
Somewhere along the line this ragtag group of heartbreak kids learned pop sensibility like the rest of us learned common sense. Of course, that’s only scratching the surface of the history they share and the music they make, both of which are far from common, as well as the wider net of influence that converged and collaborated to bring them to this moment together.
Indeed musically, no stone is left un-turned, and to match this coordinated movement of reckless abandon we are so swiftly pulled into the intimacy of Louise’s deeply personal lyrics, bold and unforgiving in their honesty, that it becomes easy to forget we’re not just two friends catching up on the emotional ups and downs of hearts permanently sewn onto sleeves.
It’s music for travelers, survivors, hope-full romantics, failures, achievers, doubters, and believers. It’s for the heartbreak club. And it’s for you.
The HeartBreak Club is:
Chloe Louise (Vocals, Guitar, Programming), Lawrence Gann (Drums, Percussion), Grant Charles (Guitars), Will Linden (Bass, Percussion, Programming)
