"I'm sick of the news, someone's always dying..."
"Sick" by Sea Girls is as charmingly catchy as it is subversive. The cool musical framework and melancholic, passionate vox feel like a crushing blend of 80's and 90's indie pop with, indie rock and power pop affections but the lyrics (taken as a whole) run dark. We have all gone through periods of time when life feels bleak and upon peering behind the curtain we cannot see any happiness. Lead singer, Henry Camamile's vocal performance is laced with real emotional weight and, while bits of acerbic wit are blended in, the sense of sadness and, even depression come through.
“It was very important that this video felt real and didn’t stray from the intended feelings of frustration and repetition I was feeling in my life when this song was written,” Henry said of the video. “Being a filmmaker Joseph our Director totally felt the song's meaning.”
Again- dig the song for it's catchy pop rock indie sound and deep thoughts that percolate beneath and break the surface. These are hard times people and if you are sick of everything from time to time but have moments of resolve, hope and joy then be happy but if you feel sick of everything and steep in that sad place too long, call a friend or professional / governmental services. In California there are organizations like CALHOPE- look for a similar help line in your neck of the woods before you are sad and keep it on your fridge or as a contact on your phone. Be well everyone.

Highly-Anticipated New Album Homesick
Out 14th January 2022 on Polydor Records
UK Autumn Tour Includes Sold-Out London O2 Academy Brixton
Following a run of massive mainstage festival performances, including Reading & Leeds Festival, TRNSMT, Neighbourhood and Latitude, this summer, Sea Girls have revealed the brand new video for their infectiously honest single ‘Sick’. The track is taken from their highly-anticipated new album Homesick - out 14th January 2022 on Polydor.
Directed by Joseph Delaney (Ashnikko, HMLTD) in Hackney, the stunningly shot video sees lead singer Henry Camamile reflecting in his gloomy room on all the things that make him sick. “It was very important that this video felt real and didn’t stray from the intended feelings of frustration and repetition I was feeling in my life when this song was written,” Henry said of the video. “Being a filmmaker Joseph our Director totally felt the song's meaning.” Watch the video HERE.
A band well and truly into their stride, Homesick sees Sea Girls, Henry Camamile, Rory Young, Andrew Dawson and Oli Khan, deliver thirteen measures of guitar driven pop brilliance including 2 bonus Deluxe tracks. A deeply personal record, lead singer Henry Camamile returned to his childhood home in Lincolnshire at the wake of the pandemic, finding himself having to address and reflect on events from his past, both good and bad. A cathartic process, Henry leaves nothing to the imagination with his astute storytelling and candid lyrics. Delving into some of his darkest moments, the uplifting album comes as a sense of relief, a gratefulness for survival. Lyrically raw and packed to the brim with hooks, the band step into new realms with an added sense of maturity and a bigger ambitious sounding record.
Teaming long-term producer Larry Hibbitt with Grammy Award winning Producers Jacknife Lee, Jonny Coffer and Cass Lowe to co-produce the record, Henry reflects on the 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.”
Sea Girls, one of the most exciting guitar bands to have emerged in recent times, are the torchbearers for the next wave. Delivering sing-along anthems for the masses, the band’s journey is well and truly on its way.
Renowned for their raucous, sweat-drenched live shows, the band will kick off their rescheduled UK Academy tour dates in Leicester on October 7th, culminating with their biggest headline show to date at a sold-out Brixton Academy on October 15th.
