As a music fan who has also worked in the industry for several years I am pleased to find such a talented work of material on a debut record.  The Dead Sea offers a variety of impressionable melodies floating amongst the heartfelt lyrical vocal style of singer/songwriter Calvin Marty.  I had the opportunity to see them perform live in their hometown of Chicago, and was amazed by musicianship of the band and the response from the crowd.  To find a band, in this era of musical recording, that is able to maintain their organic sound without the aid of overproduction brings a sense of joy and relief to this music lover.
