Sea Offs are an alt folk, indie rock outfit that quietly blow you away - "Will (you)" Official Video























Dream folk band from Pennsylvania. 

Will (you) by self described dream "folk" band is a sort of sadcore indie rock song that becomes an ultimately defiant indie rock song with heavy post punk tones. I didn't, myself, hear any folk core here (as wide as that umbrella is) and, well, descriptors are sometimes complex. A better description for Sea Offs (as I dabbled in their sounds a bit) who are at their core are Rashmit who hails from Mumbai and Olivia who hails from Pittsburgh and met / connected in school "over a love of atmospheric folk and a shared socio-political belief system" would be, in my humble opinion. simply "alternative passionate indie". And, yes I did hear more strictly alt folk sounds like the song Colliding with Rashmit at the vocal helm but both harmonizing beautifully and the elusive Occhiolism that feels like indie rock with light jazz undertones and the goose bumps inducing  beautiful alt folk / sort of broken baroque pop sound of Leave and back to they indie rock post punkish Will You)

Sea Offs by any description is a force to be reckoned with. Two incredible songwriters who can both sing and with words drenched in emotions, Sea Offs are Olivia Price, Rashmit Arora who play with a mix of Jesse Wisch, Joey Sullivan, Sebastian Goodridge and Nicole Schaefer.

Will (you) is the lead single from their forthcoming EP En Root.
