All We Could Do Was Sing
“Oakland, Calif., art-pop outfit returns with a full-length of nautically-themed songs; while there is an overriding narrative supported by enough real life experience to tell the tale, the band is smart enough to weave its way in and out of the story whenever it's convenient.”
The Wind and the Swell
“Port O'Brien continues indie-folk's fascination with nautical themes, but they've earned the right to the salt-crusted imagery: Band mainstay Van Pierszalowski, a California native and son of a commercial fisherman, spends his summers aboard an Alaskan salmon schooner.”
Threadbare
“Like the progeny of California's new folkies and Arcade Fire's euphorics, Port O'Brien still hew to an acoustic guitar/secular spiritual awakening formula.”
Wavelength is the Letterboxd for music.
