This is an instrumental that features repetitive piano chords, a guitar, an accordion, and random sea and boat sound effects. It's weirdly compelling.
The Islanders consisted of Frank Metis on accordion, Randy Starr on guitar, and Ralph F. Curtiss on sound effects. Starr, whose given name was Warren Nadel, had a side gig as a dentist."The Enchanted Sea" was the band's only hit, reaching #15 on the Billboard Hot 100. They released some other singles and an album, The Enchanted Sound of The Islanders, without further success. They disappeared after that; presumably, Mr. Starr returned to his dental practice, possibly with some interesting music playing in his waiting room.
