Surrounded By Water, an instrumental Post-Rock band from Minneapolis, was formed in 2016 by brothers Robert and Josh Landvik. In 2017, the band would soon form into its full and current lineup, consisting of members: Robert and Josh Landvik on guitars, Cullen Berglove on bass, and Ben Thannum on drums. Together they attempt to capture emotion, and imagery by mashing clean, and distortion-laden guitars into cavernous-like soundscapes, along with the occasional tape loop.
Releasing their self-produced debut album Relics in late 2017, they would spend the next few years playing regular shows throughout their home state of Minnesota. In 2020 they teamed up with their friends, MN-based post-grunge outfit Fix The Glitch, to release Split Personalities, a split EP recorded live at The Red Sea (Minneapolis, MN). Today, after a 2-year break due to COVID-19, the band is back in action playing live shows around the Twin Cities, and is in the process of recording their second full-length release.
