Day Spa begin “Sea” with a bit of production manipulation of sounds to give a sense of recursive motion in reverse delay. It sets a mood like the rest of the song is going to enter into phrases of deep reflection. When the vocals begin there is a touch of spare organic percussion, like taking a bit of tongue click and wood block strikes and slicing them into the track so that they are like dots upon which the melodic drift of the song can hang. Spare piano sits back though lending tonal contrast as Julius Gibson and Esther Rose deliver a song about internal struggles that impact a relationship including knowing when is the best time to let go despite habits, conflicted feelings and confusion and not wanting to go it alone. But in the soulful vocals and deep dive into sorting out the details that can weigh on your mind and cloud one’s judgment Day Spa use the darkly mysterious atmospherics of the song to help bring emotional clarity with an emotional honesty mindful of the hurt feelings and sensitive spots. In navigating these twists and turns of the heart, Day Spa arrive at the necessary conclusion with what feels like being true to oneself rather than a decision made out of expediency and cruel haste.
