    On the 1st of December 2012, we released our second record “The Quietest Place on Earth” with a show at ‘The Roxbury’, a 100-capacity room in the Sydney suburb of Glebe. We had a new vigour with the recent addition of Matt Harvey on guitar following the departure of two founding members. This was the first of four monolithic shows we played in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide. It came a year and a half after we had recorded it. The master had sat on a shelf at Mark’s house gathering dust during a period of uncertainty in the band until Matt invested his own money to press 250 vinyls. We knew we had written and recorded a really special record, we just couldn’t get it together long enough to put it out. Ten years since its release it holds a special place in the heart of our band. It is the last record with our brother, Chris, who would pass away a few months after its release. A record we are still extremely proud of, a record of beauty and anger. “a plunge, a dive, I gamble fate.”

    For the anniversary edition we went with an elegant black, gold and white design with gold foiling inside and out. The insert is a 60x60cm fold out poster featuring artwork by New Zealand artist Jeremy Geddes from his cosmonaut series. As well as a second insert and solid white vinyls. There are no other colour variants of this package.

    This release is available through Dunk! Records in Europe and from us worldwide.

A QUIET PLACE A PLUNGE. A DIVE. I GAMBLE FATE. ABANDON CONTROL, OBEY GRAVITY. FROM HERE, EARTH'S CLAW CANNOT OVER BARE. I HEAR NOTHING, DEAD SILENCE I GRASP AS COMFORT. I PILOT LIMBS, AS IF THEY WERE WINGS. CARVE THROUGH THE CLOUDS. PLUMMET TO THE BELOW. I PILOT LIMBS. I GAMBLE FATE. I GAMBLE FATE, UNKNOWING OF WHAT IT WILL BRING TO ME.
2.
THE BARKHAN CHARGE HERE WE ARE. WE GIANTS SWIM, BETWEEN THE EYES OF THE DEEP. OUR SPIRITS COLLIDE, INTERTWINED. HIS RIGHT-HAND MAN, AN EMPTY VESSEL. A TROOPER IN COMMAND, KNOW NOTHING BUT TO SERVE. A TEN THOUSAND YEAR MARCH. WHERE WILL WE SLEEP, WHEN WILL WE SLEEP? IN THE SOIL WE LIE. DENSE, WITH FEAR. IN THE SOIL WE LIE. IN THE SOIL WE LIE, NUMB AND DEPRIVED, NO STRUCTURE BINDS US. AWAITING THE SMILE OF A KING, A PASSING GLIMPSE OF NIGHT AND DAY, GIVES US A SIGN, WE MUST PREVAIL. HOLDING ON. NO MAN OR BEAST WILL SLOW US ON OUR CLIMB, HOLDING ON. ONWARD AWAY FROM VIOLENT BIRTH, INTO ANOTHER REALM. MOVING ON. (I GUESS I'M MOVING ON)

With Grace 16:34
WITH GRACE WHERE ARE YOU QUEEN OF THE MOON? I'VE DREAMT OF MOSAIC LANDSCAPES, AND SKIES FULL OF DIAMONDS. HANGING LOW OVER VALLEYS, IN WHICH NEW LIFE RUNS THICK. WHERE DELICATE WHISPERS SET SAIL INTO THE WIND. ASSURING THAT I HAVE FOUND, AND BECOME MIDDLE EARTH. AND CENTURIES WILL PASS AND FADE AT RABID PACE. FOR THE GIVING TO THE SOIL, WE WORSHIP THE LAND. AND THIS LUCID WAY OF REST IS HOW I WANT TO REMAIN. CONVERGING THROUGH THE VOID, FINALLY PASSING ON. CONTENTLY, WITH GRACE. OUR SUNS SPEAK IN TONGUE UNKNOWN TO MAN. OUR SUNS SPEAK IN TONGUE UNKNOWN TO ALL.

This spring  time to fly  pink fairy floss  riding high  over the rooftops  beyond the moon  oh can you see me waving from my room  The pretty lights that I'm spying my blue dress is ready and ironed  Oh I will be brave when I ride  Oh sweet child  it's just a peek  you can't be here  here with me  you can't be here  ordinary people you're not free  Fire in the sky  smoke stacked up high  ordinary people  you're going to die  Are you ready I'm unsteady  are you ready for  are you ready I'm unsteady  are you ready for the night to fall  I'll shine over you you'll shine over me  forgotten people  Lyrics by Belinda Licciardello

i) DAY AMONG THE EYE OF OCEAN STORM, LIES DIVIDE BETWEEN THE RIVAL. TO BECKON DEATH UPON THEE, AND CROWN A NAME UPON THE SURFACE. THE UNFORGIVING SWIRL, WILL DROWN EVERY LAST BREATH. NO MERCY NO HESITATION. WITH GREAT FORCE, FLOODS THE LAND. AND TO THIS I SEE ONLY RED. MUST I CONQUER HE WHO TAUNTS MEMORY? OR BE ON MY WAY? BE THE RIGHTEOUS AS A SPINE. THIS BURDEN HOVERS ABOVE. THIS WILL NOT CALM, NOR CLAIM A LAST THOUGHT. TO CONQUER IS TO PUT MIND AT EASE. DAY SEES THE SHADOW OF NIGHT. NIGHT HOLDS GREAT CHALLENGE. TO BARE CHOSEN DESTINY. TONIGHT I WILL BE REBORN. TONIGHT.
7.
ii) NIGHT I WILL SLEEP WITH THE OCEAN BED. TONIGHT WILL SEE TO THE END OF US BOTH. TO THE LAST I GRAPPLE THEE. FROM HELLS HEART I STAB AT THEE. FOR HATES SAKE I SPIT MY LAST BREATH AT THEE. I WILL SLEEP WITH THE OCEAN BED. TONIGHT AND FOREVER. I WILL SLEEP WITH THE OCEAN BED. TONIGHT WILL SEE TO THE END OF US BOTH.

about

"The Quietest Place on Earth is the follow up to We Lost the Sea’s acclaimed first record, ‘Crimea.’ This record displays the band in peak form, showing maturity in song writing and a unprecedented culmination of styles. Out through Birds Robe Records, ‘The Quietest Place on Earth, will take you on a emotional journey, the soaring post rock will slowly raise you high above the earths atmosphere in space, where time has no sway, and then bring you crashing down to the depths of the ocean, where you will feel the weight of We Lost the Sea crushing down upon you."

This record is dedicated to the memory of Chris Torpy. Rest in peace brother.

Recorded and engineered by Tim Carr at 301 Studios in Sydney.

Vinyl out in Jan 2013

Download comes with hi-res PDF insert.

Thanks for your support.
