The urban folk outfit Black Sea Dahu have returned with a 5-song EP full of forlorn beauty entitled No Fire in the Sand. The EP arrived on September 27th via Mouthwatering Records.

Picking up where they left off with their gorgeous debut album, Janine Cathrein and company delve even deeper into their questioning of and search for the more turbulent and ephemeral expressions of love. The result is a strong sonic concoction of spare bitterness that feels like it is being served to you on a spoon full of golden honey.

The songs are elegant and catchy, delivered with a mixture of an early Jose Gonzalez-type of minimalism and a Nick Drake-like grandeur. The material was recorded during the same sessions as their previous output, the White Creatures LP, which explains why No Fire in the Sand is more a natural progression rather than a full quantum leap from their prior effort.
