// BIO //
Mountains in the Sea is husband-and-wife indie Christian pop duo Phil and Angela Lamb, based out of Spokane, WA. The pair blends pop, rock, indie, and electronic genres to bring a fresh sound into Christian music.
The pacific northwest duo met in 2011, bonded over a love for God and shared musical interests, and a cross-country (WA to NC) romance quickly developed. After overcoming the distance and marrying they began performing locally as a duo and as part of five-piece indie rock band The South Hill. In 2018 they formed new project Mountains in the Sea as an outlet for an indie electropop sound they were honing in on together.
Mountains in the Sea meaningfully melds together infectious pop lines, blues influences, and a thoughtful indie-electro undertone with authentic Biblical lyrics that encourage and uplift. They record in the 444 Hz tuning, which is said to be healing and relieve stress and anxiety, and is sometimes called the “key of David.”
They hit the road to travel around the country in their RV, playing, writing, and recording new music along the way, and chronicling their journey on their Instagram and YouTube pages.

"Better Way" Press
"The duo, who also are members of Spokane band The South Hill, keep some of that band’s indie rock sensibility in the texture and rhythms of Better Way but infuse it with subtly pulsating electronica and a real ear for an understated yet effective series of musical hooks.
The vocals merge into one with the gentle arrangement, with Angela Lamb’s clear yet emotionally reassuring tones – reminiscent of Harriet Wheeler or Lauren Mayberry – add to the sense that as long as the song plays on, and possibly beyond, things are going to be OK." -Analogue Trash
"A soft pop song based on an electronic foundation and with a dreamlike feeling over the production." - PopMuzik
