Songwriting Supergroup Drink the Sea Returns with 3rd Studio Album

Hailed as one of the best live bands in the world, songwriting supergroup, Drink The Sea, returns for a second world tour, which will also see the release of their 3rd studio album, “Drink The Sea III,” which will be released worldwide on October 2nd, 2026 through Barrett Martin’s Sunyata Records and Sony Orchard Digital Music.

The band features original line up Peter Buck (R.E.M.), Barrett Martin (Screaming Trees, Mad Season), Alain Johannes (Eleven, QOTSA), Duke Garwood (British Singer-Songwriter), and Lisette Garcia (Percussion).

The autumn 2026 tour will include numerous dates around the western United States, as well as a much more extensive tour of Europe and the UK than on their first European tour in December of 2025.

These headline shows will approach two and half hours in length and will feature songs from their first two albums, as well as new songs from the upcoming third album, which will be released at the onset of the European tour. Also featured in the shows will be films by the award-winning filmmaker, Tad Fettig.

Their forthcoming album, “Drink The Sea III” was recorded when the band was on the road between October 2025 and April 2026. The group started recording in Olympia, WA at Barrett’s Sunyata Sound, and then continued with sessions in Pichilemu, Chile at Los Lobos Studios, and Sao Paulo, Brazil at Da Pa Virada Studios. Produced by Martin and Johannes, the album is a continuation of the band’s adventurous songwriting skills, a unique palate of instrumental sounds, and the refined quality of a band that has now toured across three continents and multiple countries.
