Band: SEA FEVER
Who: Manchester synth-guitar/pop collective who
released their debut album Folding Lines in 2021.

New single: GO TO THE GROUND
4th shared track from their 2nd LP, named
Surface Sound, out on May 30th. Pre-order
info here.

Iwan Gronow (lyricist/guitarist): “People can be held back by the system, dulled down
and told to stay in their place and this is our call to climb out of the box that people put us in. Positive thinking brought me to Manchester in the first place, grew my self-belief and I’ve always tried to follow this doctrine. Feelings of being lost change to being more certain about who you are and where you are going.”

Tom Chapman (bassist and also a member of New Order) names Go To Ground as the band’s “Italo-Manc disco track… an electronic funky experiment of syncopated beats and anthemic chorus.”

TUTV: This is discotheque bliss, echoing the rhapsodic tunefulness of Pet Shop Boys and, obviously, the dancefloor thrills of New Order. Vintage electro-pop elation for 24-hour party people. Trippy, vibey and trancy.

Shake your booty.

British Trippy Electro Pop Team SEA FEVER Have A New Order ‘DILEMMA’

10 December 2022

Band: SEA FEVER (UK)
Who: A five-piece collective fronted by Iwan Gronow (Haven, Johnny Marr) on vocals and guitars, alongside singer Beth Cassidy (Section 25), New Order’s Tom Chapman (bass, guitars, synths and programming) and Phil Cunningham (guitars) and powering the band’s pulsing beats is Elliot Barlow.

“We’d wanted to work with each other for ages, so when we finally sat down in the studio, the band just seemed to come together naturally. It felt like we were really free to explore the kinds of music that have always inspired us, we dug right through the record crates of our minds to shape the sound of Sea Fever.”

Last year the band released their exellent debut longplayer FOLDING LINES.

New single: DILEMMA

TUTV: No it’s New Order, but Sea Fever soundshere like NO of the late 80s, early 90s (Technique/Republic ) and that’s totally fine by me. Trippy, synth-y, and catchy.

No, it’s not Peter Hook playing the short bass solo at the beginning, it’s NO’s current bassist Tom Chapman (who joined the new lineup in 2011) but it resonates like a tribute to Hooky. And’s totally fine by me.

Freak Le Chic-like guitar fragments, rotating beats, and vivid duet vocals – Iwan Grono and
Beth Cassidy – complete this 24-hour party people earworm. Ideal tune to dance to, along with their debut album, while you wave goodbye to 2022.

Posted on by JL

27 October 2021

Band: SEA FEVER
Who: Synth-guitar-pop
5-piece from Manchester

Sea Fever about starting the group: “We’d wanted to work with each other
for ages, so when we finally sat down in the studio, the band just seemed to
come together naturally. It felt like we were really free to explore the kinds of
music that has always inspired us, we dug right through the record crates
of our minds to shape the sound of Sea Fever.”

Debut album: FOLDING LINES
Available via Apple Music.

Turn Up The Volume: If you sound like a symphonic pop orchestra you
have my attention, instantly. This is an earworm-packed debut you need
to spin a couple times on repeat to discover all multi-musical-dimensions.

If you combine flashing guitars, scintillating synths, symphonic strings, and
sprightly vocals in versatile melodiousness the final score is a most thrilling
record.

References? Talk Talk (Under Duress / Folding Lines / Afterthought), New Order
(Le Coup / De Facto) and Duran Duran (Crossed Wires / Built To Last). Sparkling,
right? You betcha.
