THE MEKKITS! THE INLAND SEA EP - Released on 30/11/09
A call to arms from the perilous waters of the Island. Kinfolk cower in their homes as wild squalls rage fury on us. A far cry from the glassy seas and towering swells from which we profited only a few days ago. Respite cruelly prized from our grasp, our hopes of reprieve in calmer seas lie tattered, at least for now. Scathed but not scarred, we persist through relentless gales and cloudbursts on the fringes of the ocean, passing the church in the bay where many a reveler and mourner has been left stranded at high tide. Through fortune and fortitude we reach the shore and are greeted by warm fires, zestful ales and hearty tales shared with our good friend, (sadly soon to depart us).
For the storm has abated and the bow has settled. We wipe our blinkered eyes, ravaged and weary; the majestic scenes enveloped by the Island in a blind rage, ever imprinted in our minds.
The Inland Sea is inspired by the isle of Anglesey, a place that has always been close to our hearts... It was recorded and produced at "Studio Los Mekkitos"... in Manchester, and will be followed next year with our ecclectic debut album!
Men! A new EP! Holland keep her breath in as she waits to hear the intro of a new birth of incredible tunes, arisen from the foamy shores of Wales, performed by the Mekkitonian sirens...
