Sea Glass + Madge – Pencils

Cover Art / Studio Mocky

We weren’t quite sure how a Sea Glass and Madge collaboration would end up sounding, but it is, in fact, a wonderful thing.

‘Pencils’ is a chilled yet playful indie song that perfectly marries an eccentric production with charming vocals. Speaking on the creation of the track, Sea Glass says:

“This song is a couple years in the making. I wrote the inst demo right after I wrapped what became my first LP. In 2023 I went to SXSW thinking I’d find someone to sing on the song. That didn’t happen, so I sent it around to artists I could hear singing on it. I got unanimously good feedback but no one jumped on board…

“A year or more later, I got linked up with Madge by a mutual friend to work on something together. Their song “Saraghina” immediately made me think of “anyone’s guess” (the original demo title). Luckily, Madge liked the demo. The song was finished like an hour and a half later. The way Madge has with infectious melodies is bananas.”

Both Sea Glass and Madge have graced our pages in the past. In the years since, these two talents have respectively built up quite the fanbase from not only music lovers but also tastemakers like Wonderland Magazine and BBC Radio 1.

Sea Glass – Razor Bones (with Misty Boyce)

Featuring the distinctive vocals of Misty Boyce, ‘Razor Bones’ is the third single to be taken off of Sea Glass’ forthcoming project, ‘Elevator Chat’.

The song thoughtfully blends elements of dreamy pop with indie and electronica to create a sound that feels atmospheric and distinctive, while the lyricism showcases a darker and more intimate edge to the music of this highly skilled Brooklyn producer.

“It was the first idea I shared with people on social media when it was just a simple synth idea and Sea Glass was not yet a thing. I loved the way the music invoked such nostalgia and longing and the reaction from others pushed me to keep going. Misty’s addition provided depth in the lightest and most elegant way. The theme of longing was made three dimensional with Misty’s stream of consciousness weaved throughout. The song’s structure moved in a new and interesting way we dubbed ‘journey core’ as we abandoned the traditional verse-bridge-chorus structure. The final product feels intimate and intense like the story Misty tells along the way.” – Sea Glass

To date, Sea Glass has garnered praise from the likes of Indie Shuffle, Wild Honey Pie and Atwood Magazine as well as tastemakers Birp.FM and David Dean Burkhardt.

‘Elevator Chat’ EP is due out 13th May 2022.
