// BIO //
Mountains in the Sea is husband-and-wife indie pop duo Phil and Angela Lamb, based out of Spokane, WA. The pair fuses blues guitar with hooky indie pop melodies and syncopated rhythms to form a sound that is both modern and a bit nostalgic.
The pacific northwest duo met in 2011, bonded over shared musical interests, and a cross-country (WA to NC) romance quickly developed. After overcoming the distance and marrying in 2012 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 has a fresh sound that meaningfully melds together infectious pop lines, blues influences, and a thoughtful indie-electro undertone, creating a tracks that are reminiscent of Lana Del Rey meets The Postal Service, with a dash of The Black Keys' grit.
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. The duo is recording their second studio album, releasing several singles leading up to the album's debut.

"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
