Another candidate for our top songs featuring whistling and in this case it's an expressive addition to Chris Root and Juju Stulbach tender vocals. Seems the pair have a history beyond Undersea Poem but surely none of that could top the warm sea breeze that they are currently making. Reminds me a lot of Adam & Darcie, nothing is hurried, no fancy bolt-ons required because the raw material is so perfectly formed as it is. The pairs self-titled debut was recorded in Mexico as part of their incessant desire to seek out warmer climes and in the process drawing inspiration [...]

I'm a sucker for all things bossa nova, so I was instantly drawn in to this track from the husband and wife duo known as Undersea Poem . Departing from their native New York City, they wrote and recorded their new self-titled LP in Mexico. The full-length was released earlier this year on Six Degrees Records and though this track is my favorite, the entire thing is great. You can currently catch them playing a few live dates on the east coast. Download: Undersea Poem - Makes Me Happy
Here we have New York-based duo, Undersea Poem , made up of members Chris Root and Juju Stulbach. Their latest single is called "Makes Me Happy," and that is exactly what this song is doing to me. I don't know much about them yet, but I do know that this is all that I want to hear right now. Good marketing with the title! So simple, so soothing...let the concerns of the day slowly slip away while you enjoy this breezy, tropical lo-fi ditty. "Makes Me Happy" is available for [...]

The name Undersea Poem , applied to both the band and their self-titled debut, is really very accurate. Listening to the music of Chris Root and Juju Stulbach (formerly of Mosquitos ) is kind of like floating underwater, without the lack of oxygen. Unlike the more electronic pop of Mosquitos, Undersea Poem is ethereal and calming and occasionally surprising – a kind of slow motion, Esquivel -laced experience that places you somewhere just south of the equator. Particularly blissed-out is the single "Makes Me Happy," with its down-tempo bossa beat and leisurely lyrics [...]
