Outlands

Long-awaited debut full-length record by these Australian musicians who seemed to be young prodigies on their first recordings.
Deep Sea Arcade sound like The Zombies throwing a beach party for Portishead. Their music is Blue Velvet with A Clockwork Orange flashes.
Led by vocalist Nic McKenzie and bassist Nick Weaver, the band combine their love of 60’s beat, surf and psychedelic rock with 80’s new wave, Madchester and trip hop. The pair, friends since meeting at high school in Sydney, penned dozens of songs and experimented with every sort of sound in their bedroom before finding their perfect counterparts in drummer Carlos Adura and guitarists Simon Relf and Tim Chamberlain.
On the surface they are many things, but it’s what lurks beneath that makes this band so exciting. Deep Sea Arcade plan to release their debut mini-album entitled If The Devil Won’t Take You in the coming months.
The best songs are 'Lonely in Your Arms' and 'Don't Be Sorry', both of which had been previously released as singles.
Close behind comes a fantastic new song called 'Steam'. The rest is pleasant but not as captivating as their earlier songs.
