Tulsa took its name from a book of photographs by Larry Clark. His pictures seem to be
largely about a group of people he grew up with who had a hard time maintaining their
curiosity for life. That's the intent of Tulsa's songs, lyrically and musically, staying
hungry for life, upholding that curiosity.
The music that Tulsa creates is released via Park the Van Records, home to bands such
as Dr. Dog, the Teeth, the Capitol Years, the High Strung and many more. This is the
first Tulsa release to find its way into the physical world (e.g., not a digital release).
As comforting and timeless as the songs on I Was Submerged essentially are, they retain
a certain melodic eeriness about them that could leave you feeling unsettled, were they
not so impeccably crafted. A dreamy concoction of reverberated vocals and sepulchral
guitars layered upon fervent percussion. The most defining touch: perhaps the
asymmetrical tones of a Fender Rhodes, which cascade throughout the recordings.
