Seas of Mirth have been stamping their own mark on modern music for the last decade, mixing up styles and
song structures while also being known for their nautical and, perhaps, not-so-serious twist. This has proudly
remained the case. However, the band have taken their sound to a new level on their third full-length album.
Recorded at London's Total Refreshment Centre by producer Kristian Craig Robinson (known for his work
with The Comet Is Coming, Flamingods, Alabaster dePlume)
Sub Marine Dreams
is a deep-ocean inspired
odyssey and various sub marine themes lurk within each of the ten linked tracks.
The nine-strong ensemble and extensive instrument checklist remains intact. Xylophone, bouzouki, clav
organ, accordion, and theremin are all present (to name a few), joined by a shoal of effects and watery
samples. The sonic span widens into areas of psyche, dark funk, jazz, disco, ambient, latin and chime-pop –
a far cry away from the galleonic jigs that made up their 2016 outing
Hark! The Headland Approacheth
.
The band are taking their most ambitious 45 minutes of song craft on tour in 2020. Live, there is a huge
emphasis to bring the tunes to life in an enthralling sensory experience made possible with big luminous sea
creature props emerging through the course of the set, and a good old-fashioned tug-of-war to boot. Seas Of
Mirth have played at some of the UK’s biggest festivals and have enjoyed many tours in the UK and Europe.

Twist and turn through a dark world of unexpected whimsy and emerge laughing into the sarcastic sunshine. What the fuck was that? No-one wants to say, “Youʼve been mangoed”, but that's the flavour on everyoneʼs lips.
