The debut EP by collaborative post-rock band Winter At Sea, featuring members of Flies Are Spies From Hell and Monsters Build Mean Robots.
Unfound presents Winter At Sea at their most spacious - a soft oceanic tide ebbing and flowing against the rocks in the tranquil glow of the moonlight - an EP that oozes with beautiful melodies and a comforting atmosphere.
The group were inspired by feelings of solitude and wandering lost through life without direction, but then finding like-minded souls to band together with along the way - and these feelings are truly evoked by these yearning, mournful soundscapes.

"Really special." Nine Hertz Podcast
"Post-rock with a particularly fine sense of detail, tinged with sounds at the crossroads of folk, ambient and neo-classical." Totoromoon
"This complete package is one that can not be missed by fans of post-rock of any kind." Echoes & Dust
"“Gorgeous... emotive... melancholic." The Sound Shark
"Acoustic guitars, piano sounds, strings and siren-like singing join electric guitars and drones... One to let your mind float." 4NDREAS.Postrock
"A gorgeous record that requires one to take the time reflect, digest and mediate on its components and how it effects one's psyche as it adapts and gracefully evolves." Noizze
"The four tracks on Unfound unfold themselves like flowers reaching for the first rays of the sun, an amalgam of pastoral drones, acoustic guitar, and neo-classical arrangements. Each note is played with utmost care and precision, creating a trance-like flow of music wherein textures are as important as the rhythm and melody.
Unfound is spacious and luscious, a dream that can be enjoyed while fully awake." Here Comes The Flood
