Ohio-based Southeast Engine has created quite a stir with its most recent release, From the Forest to the Sea, with PopMatters going so far as to call it “the first truly outstanding release of ‘09.”

It’s difficult to pinpoint the band’s sound, and that is perhaps what makes Southeast Engine so intriguing. Their unique amalgamation of Appalachian folk and the energy as well as charisma of classic indie rock is derived from the band’s Dayton roots being transplanted to the mountainous region of Ohio that is Athens. Frontman Adam Renmant and his brother, bassist Jesse, even cut their teeth on Dayton indie rockers The Breeders and Guided by Voices.
Lines can also be drawn to the manner by which the band records. From the Forest to the Sea was recorded to analog tape in an 1800s middle school auditorium in the hills of Stewart, Ohio.
The recording “studio” isn’t the only thing vintage about Southeast Engine, however. Keyboardist Billy Matheny rocks a Lowrey Wandering Genie organ circa-1970s while Jesse plays through a Fender Bassman 50.
Paste Magazine describes their sound as “so out of time, and so removed from current musical fads and trends. The freak-folk tendencies, biblical allusions and poetic nature imagery could have originated in 2009, 1969 or 1869.”
From the Forest to the Sea was released Feb. 17, 2009 through Misra Records.
