The debut four-song EP, Prelude to the Sea, is now available. Hopefully a full-length to follow by end of year 2007.

Who is Sur La Mer?
Sur LA Mer is the brainchild of Atsu Nagayama (The Boredoms, The Prescriptions), who wrote and arranged all of the material for the debut EP. Atsu enlisted help of friends Dino, Julie Lui (Rex, Tortoise), Jason McDermott, Kim Ambriz (Rabbit Rabbit), and Fred Erskine (June of '44, Hoover) when it came time to record. The results speak for themselves - provocative, captivating, ambient instrumental bliss. The debut EP, Prelude to the Sea, was recorded at Doug Scharin's Chicago studio in 2002. Eight additional tracks from the same time period are slated for release in the near future.
