Inspired by a wide gamut of influences such as Osees, Idles, Radiohead, MF Doom, Tropical Fuck Storm, Interpol, The Strokes, Frank Ocean and QOTSA, and with two EPs under their belt, the latest, April’s “Music While You Wait”, Kent-based 4-piece Sea Driver, purveyors of guitar-driven Post Punk ‘for hermits, musos and Bet Fred entrepreneurs’, with a dash of dissonant Indie Rock and swirling Psychedelia, delivers a tight, churning and propulsive new single to unlock “The Pits” of social standing, financial circumstances, and mental illness that cause a person to live in squalor.
A vibrant heart of persistent, almost free-diving, busy drumming and groovy chugging basslines, throbs packed with urgent-paced energy and relentless tension, swimming through a rich, intricate, mercurial array of heady guitar textures that switch up the tempo and the tone throughout, seesawing from barbed, vibrato, to excruciate and corrode, by creating a sense of dizzy spins, both electrifying, poignant and disturbing, along with deeply felt frustrated vocals, teetering nervously on the edge of hopeless anger, before exploding into nonsensical rants.
