Sea Dramas - “Running Thoughts”

Feast your ears upon the ‘60s-inspired craft of San Francisco’s Sea Dramas, arriving on the blog today with “Running Thoughts.”

Pressing play invites you directly into Sea Dramas’ melodious world of surfy bliss, complete with a steady, upbeat rhythm designed to instantly turn any frown upside down. Layers of retro-tinged guitar light the path down this wondrous road of introspection and we guarantee that you’ll be tapping your feet within mere seconds. It is, indeed, these playful and vibey guitars that led to us immediately saying yes.

The vocals soon sweep in, matching the vintage hue of the production and it is not at all difficult to imagine “Running Thoughts” as part of the soundtrack to the world before it had been completely engulfed by technology. We’re picking up some remnants of Scott Walker and John Cale here and we challenge you to find another modern tune with this much pizzazz. From the scorching melodic bass line to the synth that swells in the background, this is truly a tune that you cannot afford to miss.

“Running Thoughts” comes from Sea Dramas’ forthcoming album, Escape Scenes, due out on February 2nd via Royal Oakie Records.
