I don't have a lot to really say about this.
Sea Of Cortez was one of those emo-bordering-on-math rock bands that existed all over the place back in the late 90s. Their name came from the old Spanish, describing what we know as the Gulf of California. Or was it after the Promise Ring song? I couldn't say. They came from the outskirts of Phoenix, made a full-length, a 7", and a split, and appeared on a few comps. I remember them sounding a fair amount like Unwound. The members have probably gone on to separate lives.
This is the sort of record one never expects to turn up in a Goodwill; after all, were there more than 1,000 copies pressed on CD or vinyl?
But that's been one of the nice things about living where I live. I see all these recordings I remember from the back pages of zines from 20 years ago, except now, it's there on the shelf for a few bucks, so why not give it a go? Multiply that by three records a visit, two visits a week, and...well, that's how I quietly crept over 7,000 CDs in my collection in 2021.
