Sounds Like
something warm, dark and well-sauced; like a lounge you found on your vacation on the coast, or like pot roast, or like what Revekah said, which was
"From the trenches of brooding acoustic rock, Mission to the Sea finds its own voice with flamenco and bossa nova innuendo cradled in seaside rock sensibilities.
The melancholy and lucent voice of Mission to the Sea is accompanied by muted and often minor chords from acoustic guitar. Spry flamenco notes add brightness and complexity while mellow bass and beats add a subtle but plush texture.

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.
