Parting the Sea Between Brightness and Me is the second studio album by the American post-hardcore band Touché Amoré. The album was released on June 7, 2011 through Deathwish Inc..[6]

The album was recorded and produced in five days with Ed Rose (Coalesce, Reggie and the Full Effect) at his own Black Lodge Recording studio in Eudora, Kansas. The band was recorded live to give the album a more "honest/raw" feel.[7]

To promote Parting the Sea Between Brightness and Me, Touché Amoré released one part of the album cover per week through guitarist Nick Steinhardt's blog.[8] The group also made "Amends,"[8] "Home Away from Here"[9] and "~"[10] available for online streaming prior to the official release of the album.
