Seabirds: Real tears/Oh Buoy (Matinee, Single, 2013)

Seabirds son una de esas pequeñas bandas digamos que “residuales” que pululan por la escena musical británica, que hacen las cosas a su manera, absolutamente independiente y casi en la clandestinidad. Una de esas agrupaciones que aún tiran de las guitarras para basar su sonido, absolutamente “artesano” y a la par arrebatador.
Evidentemente, con esos principios, tienen todas las cartas para jugar en la baraja de Matineé Recordings, un sello absolutamente volcado en este tipo de grupos.
Real tears es su primer sencillo, una preciosa canción de ecos que nos recuerdan a los Belle and Sebastian más íntimos. Os dejo los enlaces.

“Impressive debut single from a brand new five piece guitar pop band from Nottingham, England. Fresh off an appearance at this summer’s Indietracks Festival, Seabirds have delivered the perfect debut featuring superb melodies, multiple guitars, soaring male vocals, and great female harmonies.
Lead track ‘Real Tears’ is a catchy and absolutely irresistible song set in the North West of England. A story about the first time you see somebody cry, the song starts with a carefully strummed guitar and male vocals but layers in rhythm guitars, female backing vocals, and dynamic percussion before reaching its dramatic conclusion. Flipside ‘Oh Buoy!’ turns up the guitars for a song about the excitement of a new relationship, and showcases some ace 60s jangle, more female harmonies, and a pretty excellent guitar solo.
The single recalls contemporary Scottish legends Belle and Sebastian if they grew up in a tougher part of town or the American band Voxtrot sifted through an English pop filter” (Matineé Recordings)
