Edit history

"The Humming Sea" is the acoustic project of songwriter Matt Sinclair (Speak sister easy, Omekafalconburn) based in the "echoing steel city" of Wollongong, Australia. With a raging 1970's Martin guitar and technique reminiscent of the great English folk players of the 60's (Jansch,Drake and co) coupled to lyrics informed by keen social observation ala Gil Scot Heron, "The Humming Sea" deconstructs folk music and rebuilds it for the information age with the debut self-titled album set for release late 2016 early 2017. Matt started playing guitar at age 13, originally being influenced by the "Hair Metal" guitarists of the day (he still has a soft spot for Ozzy) though it wasn't until years later, after travelling and experiencing a little too much of life's complexities that he started composing music and writing lyrics. With influences ranging from; psychedelic west African funk, Joan Baez, Judas Priest, Roger Whitacker, John Martyn, Gil Scott-Heron, Paul Ubana Jones, NWA, Tool,
