London-based indie pop outfit Seafarers blend the worlds of indie rock, chamber pop and jazz to craft their own original sound. Formed in 2018 by six long-term musical collaborators, the band is led by the talented songwriter Matthew Herd, who has an impressive history of working with artists such as Jacob Collier, Glass Animals, The Howl & Hum and Siobhan Miller.
The band also features the vocals of Lauren Kinsella, the multi-talented guitarist and vocalist Arun Thavasothy, Tom Taylor on piano, Tom McCredie on bass and drummer Dave Hamblett. Seafarers first introduced their sound to the world in 2020 with their debut single “Hamelin,” followed by a series of singles leading up to their critically acclaimed debut album, Orlando, later that year.
Their sophomore album, II, explored the various and complex facets of teenage life, further showcasing their unique sound and meaningful songwriting. Now, the band is set to release their third album, Another State, in October.
To give fans a taste of what’s to come, they bring us their latest single, “Bedwetters,” a track that continues to build on their ability to blend heartfelt storytelling with intricate musical arrangements. “Bedwetters” is a heartfelt and hopeful exploration of learning to live with one’s demons wrapped up in an upbeat pop-focused indie rock sound.
Told from the perspective of someone anxiously trying to make sense of the world around them, “Bedwetters” suggests that perhaps there is a kind of beauty in the chaos. Jumping straight in with a delicate groove of soft piano tones, gently shuffling drums and hushed vocals carrying bright melodies and poignant lyricism, the song immediately pulls you in with danceable rhythm, catchy vocal lines and thoughtful lyrical writing that paints an engrossing picture.
Flowing with airy guitar tones grounded by the steady shake of drums, accented by the strike of piano notes, the elegant vocals flutter above to craft a truly charming sound. With their highly anticipated third full-length record on the horizon, Seafarers are sure to continue going from strength to strength and win over more fans around the world throughout 2024 and beyond.
