Descended
from such acts as Lush, Cocteau Twins, The Smiths and The Church, and
further informed by brooding songwriters Polly Jean Harvey and Kristin
Hersh, Between The Waters plays
in the intersection of Dream Pop, Jangle Pop and Folk Rock. Pop-sensible
song writing and substantial lyrical themes are housed in a soundscape of
texture and sensuality, an almost tangible sonic space where style and
content carry equal weight. |

The
band is pleased to release Connection,
their first full-length CD, in October 2004. Eleven songs (plus a bonus
remix) explore the search for personal identity by comparison with various
relationships, underlined by examination of the past to make sense of the
present. The CD is mixed by Matt Brown of Trespassers William (Bella Union Records), who adds a surrealism which brilliantly
compliments the subject matter. "The Between the Waters record was a
true pleasure to mix," says Matt. "It's a treat to work on music
that I would also listen to as a fan. Between the Waters recalls the best
of the darker 80's bands like the Cure and modern day sirens like Natalie
Merchant to create a sound all their own."
