“After writing Drink The Sea, we spent a lot of time touring – two national tours, Europe, and Australia,” Boreta says. That success allowed The Glitch Mob to perform headlining tours built around major international festival appearances that, in addition to Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Ultra, spanned Sasquatch, Camp Bisco, Electric Daisy Carnival, Electric Zoo and Nocturnal Wonderland as well as Wireless Festival in the U.K. and Parklife in Australia. Drink The Sea would also rise into iTunes’ top Electronic Album charts, hitting #1 numerous times throughout the year, and still maintaining its position within the top 20 today, cementing it as one of the year’s best-selling independent electronic albums. Drink The Sea would land at #15 in its first week on the Billboard Dance Chart, while the Mob became the #1 most added on CMJ’s “RPM” charts, debuting in the top ten. The album’s first single, “Drive It Like You Stole It,” sped to the top of the most popular songs on Hype Machine's charts, clearing the road for a number of successes to follow. From the cosmic cover art by Sonny Kay (famed for his haunting imagery for Mars Volta) to the cathartic, psychedelic, unclassifiable grooves it holds inside, Drink The Sea would launch a whole new phase in the group’s evolution upon its 2010 worldwide release.

Put out via The Glitch Mob’s own Glass Air imprint, Drink The Sea represented the group’s growth up from the underground into a full widescreen vision.
It’s all a triumphant extension of the excitement that followed upon last year’s release of Drink The Sea, the Mob’s debut artist album, which rose to unexpected heights amidst already heightened expectations, with fans following as the band pushed into uncharted boundaries, yet still emerging victorious. If anything, it’s just proven to be the beginning… The Los Angeles-based trio comprising Justin Boreta, Ed Ma, and Joshua Mayer continues their movement into 2011, gearing up to commence on June 23rd one of the group’s most involved tours ever, as well as release some of their most innovative new music yet. Releasing one of the year’s premier electronic-music albums, pursuing an epic tour schedule spanning Coachella to Lollapalooza to Ultra – apparently all that wasn’t enough for The Glitch Mob.
