Sea Girls have unveiled details of their second studio album.
The follow-up to 2020's 'Open Up Your Head' is called 'Homesick' and will arrive on January 14 via Polydor Records. It was co-produced by the alt-rockers with long-time collaborator Larry Hibbitt and Grammy Award-winning producers Jacknife Lee, Jonny Coffer and Cass Lowe.
Influenced by frontman Henry Camamile's return to his Lincolnshire childhood home it the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the deeply personal record finds the 25-year-old reflecting on events from his past, both good and bad. He said of the recording process:
"Imagine us locked down in the studio in rainy Brixton working with the producers remotely on the album in California's Topanga Canyon. That clashing of worlds is the sound of this record, the DNA. Making an album this way, remotely and 5000 miles apart, was a crazy idea and shouldn’t have worked, but it did."
The LP will feature the newly shared single Sick among it 13 tracks, a guitar-driven pop offering which recently premiered as the Hottest Record in the World on BBC Radio 1, following its live debut during the band's Latitude Festival set in July. Camamile added:
"Sick is me listing things I’m pissed off with and feeling sorry for myself, it’s a growing up song where I realise I’m no longer a young child. It’s me in my bedroom at home ranting with my thoughts and going down the hole of being pissed. I am sick of everything - from things I used to love through to things that feel vacuous, like consuming and buying. All these emotions are piling up and it's me just asking for a reset, a childish solution.
"It was a turning point in the writing for this album where the songs became about worrying for other people and how they were feeling. The pivot where I started writing clearly with a bigger perspective. I literally feel myself growing up throughout this song."
Sea Girls will play Reading andLeeds later in August, before embarking on a headline UK tour in October. They also head to Europe in spring 2022. Tickets are on sale now.
