The Seafloor Cinema announce new self-titled album

October 4, 2023 James Weaver

THE SEAFLOOR CINEMA have announced a new album!

The upcoming album from the Sacramento-based band, a self-titled effort, is the follow-up to 2021’s In Cinemascope With Stereophonic Sound, and is scheduled to be released in December this year, via Pure Noise Records.

Speaking about the upcoming album, the band says, “this record really feels like ‘us’. It’s as crazy, technical, pretty, soft, and heavy as we wanted it to be. We left the studio with Beau Burchell [SAOSIN] feeling like we really captured a record that described us as musicians, as people, and as friends. Beau Burchell really helped guide us in a direction that helped us capture the sounds in our head. He made sure our personalities were seen and heard within the music he captured.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, THE SEAFLOOR CINEMA have released two new songs from the upcoming album; If This Were A Film and The Lesson (.44 Magnum).

Speaking about If This Were A Film, the band says, “this was the first song written for the record. It was written basically right after recording the last album and has been around for a bit. But where it really changed is when we asked ONLYFRIEND to feature on it. Two days after we asked him to feature on it, he went through some pretty rough life changes, and ones we as a band can resonate with heavily. He told us it was probably going to be the last thing he ever did as ONLYFRIEND, but after doing the feature sparked his passion again. If This Were A Film and how it came to be is incredibly special to us now. Not only is the song energetic and super catchy, but it also means a lot to us internally.”

And speaking about The Lesson (.44 Magnum), the band says, “The Lesson was an experiment with just how polarizing we could make a song. It goes on an adventure from Drum and Bass parts to straight up metal, touching on lots of elements in between. The song was definitely one of the more ambitious songs on the record but once we received Aarons vocal parts it was solidified as one of our absolute favorites. This song is about facing your own mortality, feeling lost in it but finding comfort within it.”
