“In the end, it’s about taking the listener on a ride,” says Jason Brody. “That speechless, awestruck thrill ride that you go on when a piece of music seems to hone in on that point in your chest and just plays right into it—you know, when you feel connected to it. When it speaks to you. That’s when it’s most fun, for us and for the listener.”

“In the end, it’s about taking the listener on a ride,” says Jason Brody. “That speechless, awestruck thrill ride that you go on when a piece of music seems to hone in on that point in your chest and just plays right into it—you know, when you feel connected to it. When it speaks to you. That’s when it’s most fun, for us and for the listener.”
Brody is the singer/guitarist for the NYC foursome AT SEA (the other band members are Andrew Burns, Geoff Council, and Jeff Olson), a band that mixes elements of more traditional rock like Jeff Buckley, Greg Dulli/Afghan Whigs, even Coldplay or U2, with more indie and electronic elements a la Stars, Doves, Death Cab for Cutie, Silversun Pickups, MGMT, etc. AT SEA is unafraid to explore new territory in all directions, creating both walls of sound and quiet ballads, and performs in various configurations, from intimate one-man unplugged shows to full–band-with-special-guests extravaganzas.
AT SEA’s a rich legacy that includes stellar reviews and mentions in publications including Big Takeover, The Deli, Keyboard magazine, and The New York Times. The band has played at NYC institutions the Mercury Lounge, Pianos, The Annex, Sin-e, etc., has done shows at the Viper Room and the House of Blues in Los Angeles along with other West Coast venues, and has toured up and down the East Coast. They will release an EP in late summer/early fall of 2009, and accompanying tour plans are in the works.
