Sea Fever is emboldened by collective resilience as they release their new album, Surface Sound, following their 2021 debut, Folding Lines.

Since 2020, the band has gathered the innate, restless artistry, studio craft, and stage experience of New Order members, Tom Chapman and Phil Cunningham, along with Iwan Gronow, a former member of the cherished 00’s emotive indie band, Haven, and bass player for Johnny Marr for over ten years.

The band is complete with Beth Cassidy from Section 25 and drummer, Elliot Barlow, formerly of Brix and The Extricated.

Their identity is increasingly forged by connection, collective growth, and generosity found amongst the cohesive collective. Surface Sound is a complete, rewarding, and open book of its own, following their debut as an opening chapter.

Tom Chapman reflects on the album's significance, stating: "It’s an album full of hope and melancholy. It was written through a difficult period of my life, dealing with a breakup and the loss of my father. I immersed myself in my work on a daily basis and used music as my solace and therapy to deal with the various waves of emotions."

"The result is a beautiful album, with Iwan and Beth confirming their roles as vocalists and lyricists with heartfelt melodies and poignant words, raising the bar again with their singing abilities. Phil stepped up again as the quintessential indie guitarist, and Elliot Barlow is the engine room and heartbeat of the band. I am very proud of this record. It’s Sea Fever at our best."
