SEA GIRLS RELEASE HIGHLY ANTICPATED NEW ALBUM ‘MIDNIGHT BUTTERFLIES’
Sea Girls release their new album ‘Midnight Butterflies’ today. Their third album, it features previous singles ‘I Want You To Know Me’, ‘Weekends & Workdays’ , ‘Young Strangers’ and ‘Come Back To Me’. It is released on the band’s new independent label Alt. Records.
‘Midnight Butterflies’ is focused melodic joy, pop perfection in twelve parts. It’s the confident sound of a band arriving at their peak. It’s smart, positive pop music for the 21st century that is genuine, authentic, and with a positive message running all the way through. Sea Girls creatively are utterly rejuvenated on this record, a true artistic statement. The band’s previous two albums have been building towards this moment, and this totally modern, open-hearted four piece are set for their biggest year yet in 2024.
The band have worked with some of the most exciting producers around on ‘Midnight Butterflies’. ‘Young Strangers’ was co-written with Kid Harpoon, producer of Harry Styles album ‘Harry’s House’. Matt Schwartz, who has worked with Yungblud and Dylan recently, co-wrote and produced the title track ‘Midnight Butterflies’ while Benjy Gibson, who worked on Fred again…’s ‘Actual Life 3’, co-wrote and produced album highlight ‘Scream and Shout’. ‘First On My List’ was co-written & produced with Rich Cooper who has previously worked with Rina Sawayama and CMAT. The Nocturns who have made a name for themselves with Mimi Webb worked on ‘Come Back To Me’ as well as comeback single ‘Weekends & Workdays’. Whilst ‘I Want You To Know Me’, as well as this band favourite ‘Polly’ and ‘Horror Movies’ were produced with Dan Bryer (Tom Grennan).
On the record frontman Henry Camamile says –
“It feels and sounds like a fledgling band making their energetic untainted debut record. It’s super optimistic and euphoric. There was a huge freedom in making this record. It’s an exciting time for music across genres, and who wouldn’t want to be a part of that?”
Sea Girls have already completed a sold-out mini tour of the UK earlier this year, as well as embarking on their first dates in Australia and they played a stunning show at the Radio 1 Big Weekend in Luton. Next, the band will head out on the ‘Midnight Butterflies Tour’ later this year. The tour takes in the UK and EU, kicking off in September and running through to mid-October.
