In Seattle, the best bands seem to come about based on local friendships, and Mal de Mer is no exception. It's a newly revived indie rock band on the scene and full of faces you've likely seen before. Mal de Mer is a musical collaboration of talent from several well-received local bands including Slender Means, The Divorce, and the Redwood Plan. Since their debut early last year, they've gone through a lineup change, naming Lesli Wood of the Redwood Plan their new vocalist/keyboardist. The new lineup consists of Wood, Michael Lee, James Curran, and Eric Wennberg. Mal de Mer has recorded their first 7" release, produced by Martin Feveyear and Don Farwell, and it's set to hit the shelves this month. Check out their fun, peppy new single "Bubble Bobble" below, with a music video hot off the presses and coming out soon.
