Blessed Unrest is the first album by Perth band The Holy Sea.
The album was recorded in 1999 at Jewell Studios in Perth by Tim Jewell and was released in 2000.
The cover art was designed by Girish Sagaram.
The album was critically well received in Perth, with The West Australian noting:
Occasionally there is a schism in the music world, an unexpected tremor of greatness. Henry F. Skerritt, young visionary and pending poet, displays a hope of this. With his band the Holy Sea, this debut aches Nick Cave – with hauntings of Nick Drake – and rattles the soul. Eavesdrop 1984 is stunning and evocative with brooding depth from the cello, lasting the record through. Como employs minimal orchestration but retains the soulful, provoking depth of a moody genius: further proved in Moksha. Disturbing and enlightening, Blessed Unrest suggests greater things to come.— Julian Tompkin, The West Australian
