The Eastern Sea - The Snow

Here's a local! This song has become a sweet soundtrack to my going on 3 years living in Austin. I first saw The Eastern Sea perform at the 21st Street Co-Op during one of UT's student radio, KVRX's concert series shows. It was during fall and I was wearing a purple bandana and many were drunk and this song was being blasted yet played so graciously to a room full of enthusiastic people. I don't remember much other than that, but I knew after that I had to find the song.

Interestingly enough, I now live at 21st Street Co-Op. I don't know if the song brought me back to the place, but it certainly is a romantic thought. I just delight in the fact that the two combine in the same memory, and that The Snow continues to play in the background while I grow, realize, experiment, and weave my way through this city.

This music video is directed by Brittany Washington and released earlier this year. There also exists a previous music video for the song, filmed candidly at a house party by Danger FIlms. Check it out here.
