An impressive debut

"The Black Sea's debut EP, S/T, is a fantastic sampler of the band. Although the EP is short, only three songs, it speaks volumes for the talent of the band. The EP starts off with Ghost Lanterns, a rollicking rocker with a pounding beat and great bass work. Shelby Cinca's voice is soft, and yet conveys enormous power over the track, as well as the other two songs. Landscapes follows Ghost Lanterns and is more subdued and lyrically focused in nature. Once again, the rhythm section mixes perfectly with the guitar and vocals for an eery, somewhat psychedelic rocker. The final track, Wingless Fire, features fantastic acoustic guitar work and beautiful vocals with a somewhat Indian or Eastern feel to it.All in all, a great EP, although a bit short. Very highly recommended."
