London based post-rock band WINTER AT SEA reveal HEARTS, the second in a thematic trilogy of records, to be released on August 28th 2026 via A Cheery Wave Records. Hearts will follow 2024’s Unfound EP, comprised of a collaborative line-up of seasoned DIY musicians. Hearts will up the grandeur and scope of Winter At Sea’s capabilities, featuring a very ambitious 20-minute piece of music consisting of five movements.

Winter At Sea began as the vision of multi-instrumentalist and recording engineer Grant Light and former Flies Are Spies From Hell guitarist and writer Chris Chapman – also founder of A Cheery Wave Records (who have released music by Overhead, The Albatross, Civil Service, Din Of Celestial Birds, and more) inviting like-minded musicians from across the UK into their ocean of sound.

Winter At Sea’s players on Hearts also include fellow Flies Are Spies From Hell guitarist Will Tomlins, Andy Selby (who also performs modular synth as Resting Pulse) and A. L. Lacey (who has an acclaimed solo record on Human Worth), both formerly of Monsters Build Mean Robots; and finally, the newest collaborator, Din Of Celestial Birds drummer Vincent Knight-Schrijver. Together they’re making staggering, earthy post-rock that moves from ghostly ambient stretches through to dense thundering cacophonies. Hearts will be released on a limited CD and Cassette run with specially designed hand-printed packaging by Richard Knox (A-Sun Amissa, Gizeh Records) on August 28th 2026 through A Cheery Wave Records.
