Official YouTube Channel for indie folk artist The Eighty Six Seas!
The Eighty Six Seas is the moniker of Nick Stevens, a Brooklyn-based artist who weaves a tapestry of indie folk, indie rock, indie pop, and folktronica into a sound all his own, decorating it with sweeping strings and poetic stories. It’s a sound that has been shaped by influences as wide-ranging as The National, Frightened Rabbit, New Order, Belle and Sebastian, David Byrne, The Mountain Goats and Bon Iver.
His new album "Scenes from an Art Heist" defies the pigeon-holing of algorithms, moving through and meshing multiple genres, including dance, indie rock, folk, EDM and country & western. In an increasingly homogenized music landscape, dominated by bite-size clips and singles, The Eighty Six Seas’ latest creation, is what albums were made for: a journey created by an artist with a vision. In fact, take away “he” from the title, and what does it spell? Scenes from an Artist.
