Seasurfer Dream Punk Hamburg With the intent of combining the ethereal dream pop tones of his former band Dark Orange with the punk influence of Bands like the Damned and the Ramones, songwriter/guitarist Dirk Knight launched Seasurfer in 2013. Referring to the new project as dream punk, Knight enlisted singer Dorian E. and bassist Mikel Wegener to round out the German trio which is loosely based in Hamburg. A short set of early demos landed them a deal with shoegaze/dream pop enthusiasts Saint Marie Records who featured them on their 'Static Waves II' compilation with a remix of 'We Run' by Harald Löwy (Chandeen) soon after. Their first digital singles Stay and We Run quickly gained the attention of both critics and listeners and Seasurfer then set about recording their debut LP Dive In which arrived in June 2014 (mixed with Axel Ermes and mastered by Karl Skivington from fellow shoegazers Spotlight Kid). It was followed by their digital single for Cloudjumping in November and later by a contribution to the 'Static Waves 3' compilation with their new song 'Waves' and the Slowdive cover of 'Dagger'. Their noisy and dreamy, yet powerful sound brought them huge acclaim amongst lovers of bands like Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine and Cocteau Twins. After several personal changes which resulted in recruiting Julia Beyer (Chandeen) as new vocalist, Volker Zacharias (Girls Under Glass, Cassandra Complex) on bass, Jojo Brandt (The Convent) for Guitars and Benny Ruess on Drums, the new line-up is now complete. The band is currently working on their second studio album and preparing several concerts for 2015. They also started a pledge-campaign with the EP "Headlights" via www.pledgemusic.com/projects/seasurfer Seasurfer’s tracks Too Wild by Seasurfer published on 2020-07-10T18:39:14Z Fireworks (Apolonias rocket mix 2018) by Seasurfer published on 2018-12-31T10:32:18Z We Run - a short piano extract by Seasurfer published on 2017-07-23T17:56:02Z Stay [the Robin Guthrie Master] by Seasurfer published on 2016-05-28T17:19:55Z SEASURFER - cloudjumping (live 2015) by Seasurfer published on 2016-05-20T14:37:15Z Waves (Hazygazy Mix) by Seasurfer published on 2016-05-11T20:18:48Z SEASURFER Too Late For Goodbyes (Demo - Mix 2015) by Seasurfer published on 2015-12-31T15:30:58Z Hide (the Weimar Mix) by Seasurfer published on 2015-09-13T11:40:55Z Drifting in Silence - DESIRE (Seasurfer - Remix) by Seasurfer published on 2015-09-10T18:26:13Z
