The bedroom-based dream pop project of Southampton, U.K. songwriter <a href="spotify:artist:3HKCgbROoGbJ0DWtq0L0oQ">Jacob Scott</a> -- originally known as Netherlands -- had been renamed Pale Seas by early 2012, and soon expanded to a group featuring Graham Poole on guitar and Matthew Bishop on bass. Commentators on their early gigs, and reviewers of their debut single -- March 2012's "Something or Nothing" -- heard the influence of both <a href="spotify:artist:2ApaG60P4r0yhBoDCGD8YG">Elliott Smith</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:56ZTgzPBDge0OvCGgMO3OY">Beach House</a> in their sound, as <a href="spotify:artist:3HKCgbROoGbJ0DWtq0L0oQ">Scott</a>'s compositions at that point betrayed a similar combination of thoughtful sadness and a pop-focused sensibility. That single also coincided with their first national headline tour, and they went on to support acts such as <a href="spotify:artist:1UzKSuyOqKgUupcNNEtnF1">Stornoway</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6g0mn3tzAds6aVeUYRsryU">the War on Drugs</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:1bwUhKRmEkOZ1wuTnV9XjC">Beach Fossils</a>. By the time of the release of September 2012's double A-side "My Own Mind/Bodies," the band had enlisted the help of <a href="spotify:artist:6XiSck3QPuXk7ho6zlDz3P">Bees</a>' linchpin <a href="spotify:artist:3KSDPs43QEhbYZL3lNykWW">Paul Butler</a>, who invited them to record at his studio on the Isle of Wight. Next, drummer William Hilliard was recruited before they readied a 2014 EP entitled Places to Haunt. ~ James Wilkinson, Rovi
