Sea Pinks // Dead Seas

While Veronica Falls, Girls Names and Spectrals all made the cut in our list of the top 50 albums of 2011, the Sea Pinks' 'Dead Seas' missed out.

Having relistened to the Belfast trio's second record almost exclusively today, we feel we may have made an error of judgement / lapse of concentration / temporary insanity, and would like to rectify this in a small way by highlighting its Black Lips on a coastal stroll-esque garage excellence here. Their kaleidoscopic visual treat for Fountain Tesserae is below, as well as the whole album to stream.
