Sea Fever

Description

Formerly one third of the much-loved trio Black Box Recorder, alongside The Auteurs’ Luke Haines and Jesus and Mary Chain guitarist John Moore, the British singer-songwriter Sarah Nixey has steadily gained acclaim as a solo artist who makes savvy, sophisticated and poised pop. Delivering vocals with a detached elegance over opulent tracks, any perceived nonchalance in Nixey’s luxe, cut glass voice belies her empathy, where social commentary serves as protest, both explicit and implied. Like Billy Bragg deepfaked as prime Julie Andrews, this strange but effective juxtaposition radiates soft power. ‘Sea Fever’ explores the bittersweet beauty of human life amid a volatile world of changing seasons and brutal elements’, says Nixey. ‘These are songs of deep sorrow, remembrance, birth, and change, set against a backdrop of the sensuous natural world’.
