Seasfire in session at Maida Vale
"Inspired by Buckley and Burial, these Bristol boys tread a fine line between chilling and chill-out [...] they are, in many ways, our dream (new) group: a rock band who approximate the sound made by Abel Tesfaye, alias R&B wunderkind the Weekend." Guardian New Band of the Day
SEASFIRE… Four young men skulk about Bristol, a city that has thrown up some of England’s more melancholic and introspective bands.
The four-piece formed, as most do, in a bedroom studio listening to the 3 B’s: Buckley, BunnyMen and Burial.
Mary Anne Hobbs first picked up on their track ‘Falling’ for Mary Anne Hobb’s XFM Music: Response. It got such a great reaction for a demo that it was made ‘ The Game Changer’ and played every night on XFM for a week in early December 2011. Subsequent radio support has already followed from BBC Radio 1’s Rob Da Bank, XFM’s John Kennedy and BBC Bristol. This week SEASFIRE played in session at Maida Vale for Steve Lamacq over at BBC Radio 6 Music. You can view the beautiful yet chilling live renditions of upcoming single
'Falling' and other tracks here:
At the heart of SEASFIRE’s nocturnal and atmospheric songs are stories of love and losing love. Their debut single 'Falling' is released on 27th February 2012. The lyrics of ‘Falling’ are full of the ghosts of relationships and the shipwrecks of heartbreak. Skeleton beats and distorted bass underpin the cold piano and haunting vocals, creating a chilling yet sophisticated sound.
