Press Reviews review of "How Far is Far Enough" by godsofmusic.com "Love gone wrong hasn't felt this right in a long time. Bringing to mind afternoons spent driving along weathered coastal avenues, 'How far is far enough' makes a strong case for the road trip as a metaphor to a journey of love. The song portrays an affair that probably enjoyed its finest moments on the go, revelling in a torrent of addictive freedom. Thus, the protagonist thinks it only natural to head back to the road in a bid to reclaim some of that magical feeling from time gone by. It's an attempt that proves to be littered with memories, thoughts which trigger the belief that perhaps not all is lost after all. For a sad love song, How far... seems to throw up some rather sun-kissed images. You're presented with a view of an illusionary California-like habitat, where even sour love could get cancelled out by the rhythm of the ocean, the incessant gaze of the sun and the 'nightly romance of stars'. What sets this mood is the music, a delicious amalgam of blissed-out modern rock guitar and atmospheric edginess. Some By Sea distance themselves from most other hard rock/modern rock outfits with their pronounced and quirky alternative bent. It's an indie ethic with a stripped-down rock sound, and it makes for great listening. By far the most interesting thing about this song is its structure. The chorus is no more than a punctuation mark to the verses. The final couple of minutes of the song break away from the main flow, charting a course of their own. This last phase is characterized by garage-rock drum thrashing and distorted vocals. A nice flourish to end with, scratchy recording and all. By all accounts, Some By Sea is just a two-man project. Chris du Bray and Eino Holm do enough here to suggest that two members are more than adequate. This song would be a nice thing to have around on most occasions. But during those vacant, 'lost between life' moments, it could prove indispensable." review of Some By Sea by The Seattle Weekly "Chris Du Bray has it, or something like it. After dancing around the periphery of the Seattle indie rock scene (literally - South King County) for too many years, Du Bray and his latest project, Some By Sea, are finally getting a little big-city recognition. And it's hard earned. Du Bray's so sincere, you get the feeling he's not just doing it for the chicks (but the chickies ain't too bad, either)." review of Some By Sea's demo by The Fusion Cafe Newsletter - Katie Izak "Some By Sea. Two guys. Lots of instruments. Catchy songs. And the singer? He's kinda cute. And I like it when bands are cute, kind of cute like Blue Sky Mile. That's a cute band."
