Your Heart Breaks - New Ocean Waves (2006)

Your Heart Breaks is a collaborative music project originating in Bellingham, Washington in 1999.
The project has spread throughout the United States, but resides in Seattle, Washington when not on tour. Now, with over 50 members in the lower 48 states they have produced seven albums on five record labels: Plan-It-X Records, MASA, KELP!, Don't Stop Believin', and Do It for the Girls Productions. Regular members include Clyde Petersen, Karl Blau, and Steve Moore of Earth. Participating musicians include artists such as Serene Peterson, Dave Mathies, Laura Veirs, Cindy Wonderful Of Scream Club and members of bands such as The Gift Machine, Winning Lasses, Palisades, Black Cat Orchestra and Kickball.

"New Ocean Waves" is almost completely dominated by the voice of occasional bandmate Serene Peterson and was intended to be paired with the album "Sailor System, Don't Stop Believing," which Your Heart Breaks would release only months after "New Ocean Waves." Musically this album lies somewhere between the honest lyrics of Kimya Dawson, The lo-fi pop aesthetic of Saturday Looks Good To Me's earlier work, and the dirty, radical punk rock of Plan-It-X records' entire roster. If I were to listen to all of Your Heart Breaks' albums back to back, "New Ocean Waves" would stand out the most, and if you were to ask me which track off of the album is my favorite, i would tell you that you are fucking crazy; this album can only be processed as a whole.
