Amestory's latest offering is their third for Portia and the follow up to 2006's self-titled full length. They Can Sing Underwater finds the band departing from their light, heart-felt chamber pop to a bolder, more unrestrained recording of songs which echoes the disdain in current events. Do not be mistaken though; this is not a record of protest. Mike Russell (vocals, guitar) simply documents a wide array of conversations had and attitudes expressed in the past year as well as experiences from a cross country trek. In the summer of 2006, Russell took off on a month long road trip riding on busses and trains, armed only with pens, paper and a camera. After surviving getting lost, all-nighters at bus stops in Boston and muggings in Ohio, Russell reunited with Amestory in Los Angeles and pieced together this EP which is directly influenced by his experience with Americana and culminates in tracks like "The March, The Parade," a glaring critique of patriotism as it exists today.
