Concert Review: Sea Girls Land At Mercury Lounge

It was the first NY show for Sea Girls, and these guys were living it up. Of course, by their name, you might think they are a batch of fisherwomen ready to catch the season’s finest, marine life. Yet, their name, in a way, reveals a different, more relatable purpose. As they introduced themselves to the “lovely” Mercury Lounge, Sea Girls delivered the anthems for working class Millennials that have no idea if they are getting their paycheck tomorrow, but, at least, they have enough for a pint at a pub.

You may think I am being facetious, but a lot of Milliennials are broke and this new decade, coming up, does not look more lucrative for us. Thus, music seems to have found an even bigger purpose in our lives to help us forget, for an instance, how hard it is to have a life. From “Heavenly War” to “Damage Done” their songs felt like if Chris Martin became the lead singer of Blink-182. They had an emo/punkish flare that was coated by uptempo-pop panache. Henry Camamile could, easily, be the vocal twin of The Killers Brandon Flowers; two men that present their lyrics like cool commentary on the crazy, reckless, and even tragic lives of youth.

In my recent interview with Frida Sundemo, she talked about the finding the “happiness of struggle;” taking joy in the beauty of trying. My little, Milli heart palpitated because the idea of embracing anxiety feels like a mind warp to me; how could you hug your fears? Seriously? Then, I saw Sea Girls perform and I understood that music can hug them for you. Their songs paint lives as if Picasso did abstracts based on twenty-somethings night-life. In essence, resilience is art, and going out, having a blast, despite a bunch of unpaid bills and unfulfilled goals, is absolutely strong of you. To some degrees, NYC’s night-life lives off this idea, Sea Girls could play it to it all day. For More Information On Sea Girl’s Click Here.
