Taste Test: Eva and the Vagabond Tales suggest that ‘Sea Will Return You’
The old world folk band compare the past to an ongoing sea adventure with a new song.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones.
The human form is not too dissimilar from cracked and broken seashells lining the sands of a secluded beach somewhere. We endure as much pain as we do joy, parts of ourselves tossed to sea, and we may or may not arrive on shore stronger and more apt to survive the next leg of our journey. Pulling from ragtime and old world folk music, California troupe Eva & the Vagabond Tales unspool their journey with colorful, delicate threads on a song called “Sea Will Return You.” As the waves crash against their bodies, denting and warping with each lash, they seek out to bestow the truth of what the future just might hold. “Your ship is waiting at the shore / I’ll be opening your door,” sings Eva Mikhailovna, whose sadness sculpts a rather cinematic sea adventure. Banjo twirls as if on a seaside carousel, awaiting a new beginning that just crests the horizon, and as the light bounces from the bow, the pain is washed way in foamy stripes.
“Sea Will Return You” is lifted from the band’s new alum, Uncharted Ocean, out everywhere now.
