?In anticipation of this Saturday's CD/cassette release party, Sea Ghost has rolled out its debut full-length, SG, a few days ahead of schedule.

?Singer and keyboard player Carter Sutherland, guitarist Brandon Chester, drummer Jonathan Morningstar, and bass player Jay Harris have captured nine deceptively lush pop numbers that are teeming with giddiness and melancholy tones, and steeped in reverb. Sutherland insists that the album's title is not the band's initials. What the letters really stand for, however, is something he's keeping secret. At any rate, the band self-recorded the album. Ariel Silva, better known to most as SenseiATL, who has produced Awful Records affiliates such as Pyramid Quince and LuiDiamonds, handled mixing duties. CDs are available via Athens-based Marching Banana Records. Tapes are also available from Teen Sleuth Cassettes. Read more about Sea Ghost in this week's CL music news column.
