Today we’re premiering the third single from The Secret Sea‘s U.S. debut and 7th album, Everest, which was recorded and mixed by Larry Crane of Jackpot! Studios.
His previous singles "Army of Souls" and "Canada" opened the door to the intimate confines of Amit Erez’s soft acoustic world, but it’s the thoughtful lyrics and imagery of "My Beautiful Hell" that takes us further and deeper into the revelation of his story.
Steadily rolling forward in a lush full-band arrangement, this song is the journey of a protagonist through his past and present, reflecting on events that shaped his life as an artist and as a person with haunting visuals and metaphors. Lyrically heavy, "My Beautiful Hell" pulls the listener into a hallucination, questioning the perceptions of home, happiness, and the endless chase after one’s own calling.
The track also features guest musicians Gil Assayas of GLASYS on keys and former Elliott Smith and current Eyelids drummer Paul Pulvirenti.
Amit will be joined by a full band for the first time onstage for the album release show for Everest, taking place at the Liquor Store on November 16th. The show will also be a single release for Arrows in Orbit, along with a performance from GLASYS.
Limited edition cassettes with download codes from Dazzleships Records will also be sold at the show and Everest will be digitally available on all known platforms on Nov 15th, with a pre-order on iTunes from Nov 12th.
