Not only has Copper Sails been able to reach a wide audience in a short amount of time, but the Virginia-based band has achieved this in ways that break the traditional mold of how a band should be heard. On their new album Hiding Place, now available, Copper Sails showcases exactly what makes them so alluring.
Their mass appeal resulted in the track “Sleeping Giant” landing a feature placement on ESPN’s “Baseball Tonight” during their “Diamond Cuts” segment, which reached over 4 million viewers. Moreover, Copper Sails was chosen as a Budweiser True Music band, and their growing popularity in the Northeast has led them to share stages with the likes of The Strokes and Switchfoot.
On Hiding Place, Boomer Muth (vocalist/bassist), Jonathan Crawley (vocalist/guitarist), Kyle Crosby (keyboardist) and Jim Courtney (drummer/vocalist), take pop sensible melodies while defining themselves through textured guitar atmospheres, lush keyboards and dynamic rhythms. The result is a sonic experience described by the band as Brit-infused American indie rock that was captured by recruiting Mitch Easter (REM, Wilco, Pavement) to mix Hiding Place, Greg Calbi (U2, Interpol, The Strokes) to master the album, along with up and coming producer Ted Comerford (Zox, Virgina Coalition, Army of Me) to produce the album.
Influenced by British rock bands like Radiohead, Doves, and Snow Patrol, along with American counterparts such as Rogue Wave and Death Cab for Cutie, Copper Sails works to define a sound all their own with their musicianship and a dedication to each detail of the songwriting process. “We’re constantly listening to all sorts of music from rock to pop, jazz to to hip-hop to attempt to break down what makes it interesting and incorporate the themes into our own music,” Crawley says. Tracks like “Nobody Move” display the band’s knack for dual vocals intricately trading off melodies. “Hiding Place” captures the essentials of Copper Sails’ dynamics, coupled with their melodic nature that is represented throughout the album which Muth feels “helps make our music interesting on the first as well as the twentieth listen.”

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.
