Blue Bays: East End Abuzz with Caribbean-esque Waters, But Cause Not So Pretty
Some East End residents enjoying a day at the beach or on a boat could be forgiven if they thought they were magically transported to the Caribbean on a recent summer day. That’s because the waters around the Hamptons and the North Fork had turned an unusually turquoise hue in recent weeks. Although many took it as a welcome change from the usual green tint to the water in the Atlantic Ocean and the bays across the region, the cause was a not-so-welcome common culprit: an algae bloom — a unique phytoplankton known as coccolithophores.

fantasy of a broken heart share new single "Loss," announce NYC shows
Fantasy of a broken heart‘s anticipated debut album Feats of Engineering is out on September 27, and they’ve shared another single from it, the maximalist “Loss.” “There’s always a tension in songwriting between simplicity and excess,” Bailey Wollowitz says of the track. “Especially in the home digital recording era, it’s hard to ignore an anxious tugging at the endless possibilities of overdubbing and arrangement. Why not put a string section on every song? In these moments of preoccupation, I often came back to the first few Unknown Mortal Orchestra records, which have always inspired me as pieces of work that achieve sonic maximalism with very minimal arrangements; a perfect hybrid between the euphoric peaks of the later Beatles catalogue and the roughest sounding Jay Reatard demo. The song Loss started as a word on a piece of paper and a desire to capture a complex feeling in a simple way. Memory loss, hearing loss, loss of love, loss of a loved one. Getting lost in yourself. This was the first song demoed for the album, and was a turning point for realizing that there was nowhere to hide with being honest about this stuff. By the final mix we had stripped back the layers and left it as it was meant to be: a little song with a lot to say. We also lost some of the drum stems along the way.”
