New Music: Seb

There’s something refreshingly intriguing about a new outfit that doesn’t (yet) have much of an online presence.

Today’s release of ‘Hold Me’ marks the debut for Virginia-based alt-pop collective Seb. This track is really quite unique and blends elements of electronic music with glitchy pop and indie. The result is a sound that is eccentric and unexpected, yet also raw and vulnerable in tone.

“‘Hold Me’ is our introduction to the world. It’s about fragility, the need for closeness, and the hope that love can free you from yourself.”

Seb cite the likes of James Blake and The 1975 as their inspirations, and if their future releases are as fantastic as ‘Hold Me’, then they might just get their own global fanbase very soon.

SEB – 3am in nyc

If you’re looking for a midweek pick-me-up then pressing play on SEB’s ‘3am in nyc’ will do you well.

Lifted from his new ‘IT’S OKAY, WE’RE DREAMING II: don’t worry, i’ll be fine’ EP (out now), the track was written as an ode to the artist & producer’s time spent in New York:

“‘3am in nyc’ serves as a snapshot of my time in NYC. Specifically those late nights, going out drinking and being on the train with my friends. At that time in my life, there was never anywhere I had to be, so every night was always an adventure: whether it was roaming the city, going out to bars or meeting new people in the most random places.”

The song continues to showcase SEB’s remarkable skills in creating future-forward pieces of music that never fit into any one specific genre, yet still carry tons of mainstream appeal.

SEB – f**k it, i’m the man

As one of the most refreshing newcomers to emerge from California in recent times, LA-based artist SEB consistently treats listeners to superb cuts of indie and lo-fi pop.

His latest single ‘f**k it, i’m the man’ is an anthem for empowerment, and opens the door to the next chapter of his music, with a new body of work expected in the coming months.

“This song is about standing on your own and living your life according to you and only you. After a blowout argument, I ended up having to permanently cut off family members who did nothing but tell me how much of a disappointment I was. In the chorus I’m trying to be exuberant and confident but that’s only to mask the pain I’m feeling in the verses. From talking to people around me, I know I’m definitely not the only one who’s gone through this. I want fans who are living through that, to feel empowered to do them, regardless of what anybody has to say.”

SEB – Coney Island

LA-based talent SEB’s style of music-making showcases some of the finest lo-fi indie pop to emerge out of California at the moment. A true multi-disciplinarian, he’s not only a performer but also writes, produces and engineers everything himself.

“I used ‘Coney Island’ as a way to disguise some of my darkest truths. Sonically it gives off a summery nostalgic sound but that’s used to mask my lyrics where I’m exploring my mental health struggles and everything that comes with that.”
