Sea Pinks – Into Nowhere
Wednesday 12th April, 2017
They say: “’Into Nowhere’ sees us picking up where 2016’s Soft Days album left off. It’s a song that swerves and dives, the verse’s arpeggiated fatalism giving way to first defiance, then full blooded euphoria in the choruses. Clear eyed and buoyant, it’s the sound of winter giving way to spring."
We say: “A band who are this productive (forthcoming is their sixth album in seven years?!) have no business being so consistently good. ‘Into Nowhere’ is a tad darker than what we’re used to from Sea Pinks; the sunshine just not quite as bright, the guitar riff is borderline sinister, the vocal a little melancholic and the riffs extra fuzzy. A wonderful return.”
Sea Pinks, Belfast’s purveyors of bittersweet guitar pop since 2010, return with the first single from their sixth album ‘Watercourse’, coming summer 2017.
