about

This is the first part of a collection of songs that represents the earliest howlings of The Arid Sea. Recorded on primitive gear and only ever released in extremely limited numbers, this era was all but forgotten as the band evolved. Through the rainy months of 2016, 14 of these early tracks have been redigitized (in some cases), remixed and remastered for two collections. Subsequent releases will come along in the following months, but it seemed right to start at the beginning.
