Tell Me It's Real

SEAFRET's debut album, "Tell Me It's Real," is a deliciously emotive journey into the depths of the heart, sprinkled with just the right amount of melancholy and whimsy. The duo from Bridlington, consisting of Jack Sedman and Harry Draper, deliver a collection of tracks that feel like a warm embrace on a rainy day. From the opening notes of the title track, SEAFRET invites listeners into their intimate world of heartache and yearning. Tracks like "Oceans" and "Atlantis" showcase the duo's knack for crafting hauntingly beautiful melodies that linger long after the song ends. Sedman's soulful vocals soar over Draper's intricate guitar work, creating a dreamy soundscape that is both comforting and cathartic. However, the album isn't without its missteps. Tracks like "Breathe" and "To the Sea" feel a bit too formulaic, lacking the spark of creativity that defines the rest of the album. While these songs are by no means bad, they simply don't reach the same heights as some of the more compelling tracks on "Tell Me It's Real." Overall, SEAFRET's debut album is a promising start for the duo, showcasing their undeniable talent and potential. While there are certainly moments where the album falls flat, the emotional depth and musicality displayed throughout more than make up for any shortcomings. "Tell Me It's Real" is a solid debut that leaves us eager to see where SEAFRET will go next.
