Примечание: Growing up in the dream pop and shoegaze scene, SEASURFER are breaking new ground with the 16 tracks of their third album "Zombies". The sound of the German duo is still fuzzy, full of reverb and layers, but more synthetic beats and rhythms lead to a darker electronic noise pop style with strong influences from the post punk and cold wave genre. "Zombies" draws a murky painting of all the horror and abysses of these days, while the music is full of driving basses, noisy guitars, atmospheric synths and the ethereal vocals of songstress Apolonia. Nevertheless, there shimmers likewise a subtle pop attitude, which offers a certain kind of 80s reminiscence and also some spare light at the end of the tunnel. For the first time SEASURFER mastermind Dirk Knight recorded all instruments by himself, adding a few vocals as well. Founded 2013 in Hamburg, SEASURFER released two acclaimed albums plus two EPs on the US-label Saint Marie Records and built up a worldwide fanbase. Dirk Knight changed the whole line-up several times to gather musicians around him who fit perfectly. Singer Apolonia joined in 2018 and the new record shows why. Beside the opening track and lead single "SOS" it contains also the previous singles "Too Wild", "Lovers Breakdown" and "Venusberg" in exclusive album versions. Furthermore, the CD edition comes up with a second disc including the 8-track mini-album "The Dreampop Days" (digitally available as well), that Dirk Knight recorded with guest singer Elena Alice Fossi from Italian dark wave band Kirlian Camera. Two songs, among them the 2019 single "Blue Days", were mixed by 4AD producer legend John Fryer (Depeche Mode, Cocteau Twins, Lush, Nine Inch Nails, This Mortal Coil).
