The sound of California transposed to the cold landscapes of Alaska! I discovered Port O'Brien last year when they issued their first album which actually was a compilation of their first singles. I immediately fell in love with the sound, lyrics and emotions and I was delighted to be able to preview their first album proper which is officially out in the UK on the 4th of August. It features lots of brand new tracks as well as new instrumentations of older ones. One of the mainplayers of the band, Van Pierszalowski works every summer on his father's commercial salmon fishing boat, the Shawnee, in the Kodiak Island area in Alaska. The whole biography is an amazing story in itself and can be found on their MySpace page (as well as a preview of some tracks) and their blog (on this very blogspot) is another richly informative and interesting read.
