   About Mission to the Sea
Decker Sachse records and performs under the name Mission to the Sea. Mission to the Sea's sound could be categorized as folk, sometimes infused with jazz and latin tones, adrift somewhere between the dreamy, intimate feel of Joao Gilberto and Hope Sandoval. Mission to the Sea is currently based in Dallas, Texas, nowhere near the ocean. Click here to buy Mission to the Sea's new songs on iTunes: The Sugar And The Queen Video by Scotty Griffith
