Sea Pinks are hitting the road in the UK next week with three shows including shows at The Social in London on 25 May, Wharf Chambers in Leeds on 26th and The Flying Duck in Glasgow on May 27th. They’ve also been confirmed for the Green Man Festival in August and will be playing Castlepalooza Festival in Ireland on 2 July.
While most bands attest to being distinctive, Belfast trio Sea Pinks certainly make good on on such declarations, presenting a varied and wide-ranging mix of styles, tones and textures on their brilliant latest record, Soft Days. Whipping up a storm that takes in all manner of pop’s sub-categories to create something brilliantly bright.
Sea Pinks consist of Neil Brogan on guitar and vocals (also known as a founder member of Girls Names), Steven Henry on bass and Davey Agnew on drums. Soft Days is the band’s second full-length studio record following on from 2014’s Dreaming Tracks and three previous DIY albums.
It’s a snapshot of a band growing in confidence and hitting its stride as a three piece. It’s also thrillingly eclectic, cherry picking genres with magpie abandon with rave reviews from Q, Uncut, Louder Than War, Clash and The Line of Best Fit as well as airplay on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 6 Music. For their live set, they unite on forging blissful guitar pop out of everyday tension and are without doubt one of the most distinctive guitar bands around right now.

Praise for Soft Days:
“A genuine joy.” Q 4*s
“Terrific… sounds a lot like My Morning Jacket covering The Smiths.” Uncut
“Akin to The Go-Betweens if they were born in a slightly colder climate.” Clash
“Take all the best aspects of outsider pop from the last decades and you’ve got Soft Days.” London in Stereo
“A classic pop album – no bombast or synthetic emotion here but plenty of lilting psych and bittersweet lyrics to melt your heart.” Louder than War
