Seashell Radio has recorded a full-length album at Wavelab Studio with Craig Schumacher (Calexico, Neko Case, Iron and Wine, Howe Gelb) producing.

Witness! Four musicians from four corners of the United States converged upon a dusty desert town, and Seashell Radio was born. Songwriters and singers all, the members of Seashell Radio press the haunting tones of cello, guitar, keys and drums against a harmony-laden electronic cacophony. The result is “gorgeously moody tunes” that “recall the sophisticated pop of Talk Talk and Air” (Stephen Seigel, Tucson Weekly).

The band members’ origins are as eclectic as their music. Keyboardist and vocalist Cassie Van Gelder grew up in a family of traveling troubadours, and then survived peninsular winters and Canadian food shelf dinners on her way to becoming a piano technician and mender of discord. Before pursuing an MFA in fiction writing, Esmé Schwall (Captain Yonder) strapped her cello to the top of a taxi-brousse to tour with traditional musicians in Madagascar. Her former band was invited to record at Tarbox Road Studios (Flaming Lips, Sparklehorse); the album earned a four-star review in Britain’s Mojo Magazine. Fen Ikner (Knife Crazy, Mexican Cession, The Otterssey, Hero Alligator), the band’s drummer and sample wizard, is also a recording engineer; his company is the creator of a new ribbon microphone. In keeping with his bent for invention, Fen helped write a song that was adopted as theme music by NPR’s Science Friday. The band''s newest member, guitarist and vocalist Courtney Robbins, creates sounds that are "fierce, vibrant [and] infectious" (Annie Holub, Tucson Weekly). A Tammie Award nominee (2009, 2010), a finalist in the Tucson Folk Festival songwriting competition (2008), and a second place winner in her eighth grade school-wide geography bee, Courtney is a powerful addition to Seashell Radio''s driving and harmonious sound.
