I think I write when I tend to be a little happier, and then sometimes upset stuff comes out and I think, maybe that’s just my way of processing life, and using it as kind of an outlet to get get rid of that stuff. So even sometimes I’ll start to work out something and I’ll be like what is this about? Because I’ve been in such a good place in my life. It’s usually about six months down the line usually when it’s kind of cleared out of my brain that I can finally start writing about it. I think the brain kind of takes a long time, or maybe just my slow brain, ha. I’m not the kind of person that will go through a break up, or lose a family member, and then that day I’m writing about it. I think you have to digest life before writing about it. Sedman: Yeah, I mean, I write in both situations.

So, after listening to your extremely empathetic and insightful lyrics, I’m assuming that being around other people is a source of inspiration for you.

:: stream/purchase Seafret here :: Stream: ‘Most of Us Are Strangers’ – Seafret In premiering Seafret’s 2018 Monsters EP, Atwood Magazine praised the band for “shin a light on the ugly stuff, leaning into personal insecurity and self-doubt, heartache and loss, pain, and more – not necessarily in order to assuage or ameliorate, but rather to observe and reflect on real truths often considered ‘taboo’ by media and the general populace.” That streak continues on their new album, which hits so hard in present times.ĭive into our interview with Seafret below, and listen to Most of Us Are Strangers, out now! Is topically exactly what we all need to hear, to feel in good company, while quarantined, and so very far apart. And as far as we got from the deep darkness of current events, Seafret’s album Most of Us Are Strangers, with lyrics like: Most of us are strangers who want someone to save us We’re looking out for angels and something we can hold on We hear sirens and suffer in the silence Getting tired of trying and tired of being alone, oh In trying not to focus on the science fiction thriller our lives were becoming, Sedman and I discussed Seafret’s new album Most of Us Are Strangers, his writing style, best hair tips, and his latest hoodie obsession. And yet, that’s exactly where we caught up with our ginger crooner, the star of this interview, the day before we all sheltered-in-place. In those olden days, going to a pub was normal enough, while in our present world, it could be deadly if it wasn’t impossible.

Nowadays, it’s not only expected, but it’s also become fashion. Way back then (last week), the idea of wearing a mask and gloves in social situations seemed a bit hyper. Though this conversation only took place a week or so ago, it seems like we’ve all been through a lot of life since then. As a result of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Sedman had a bit of time to spend speaking to Atwood Magazine. Together with his friend and guitarist Harry Draper, Seafret had recently been on tour promoting their latest album Most of Us Are Strangers until the coronavirus took our planet by storm. Jack Sedman is the singer and ginger topped member of British folk rock duo, Seafret.
