Originally forming back in 2016, Seafoam Walls were one of Miami’s best kept secrets in the modern art music movement. Thriving with their unique sound perfect for a dark tropical paradise, Seafoam Walls released their debut EP R-E-F-L-E-C-T in 2018 and caught the attention of music fans the dug deep in the surreal music catalog. The band released their follow up EP ROOT in 2019, widening their reach even further to many new music lovers who were willing to push play. Seafoam Walls has taken their stylistic sound and performed at Afropunk’s “Black Spring” and III Pointsmusic festival, playing alongside Thundercat, Blood Orange, Tyler, The Creator, and Gorillaz.
“Rapids is short for white water rapids. A fast-moving body of water that cares or waits for no living being. I see time in a similar way. Society will progress without you if you get stuck in your ways. It helps to be as fluid as the times allow.” – (Lead Singer) Jayan Bertrand
Seafoam Walls’ upcoming sophomore LP, *Standing Too Close To The Elephant In The Room*, showcases the band’s evolution of their unique “Caribbean jazzgaze” sound, blending jazz, shoegaze, rock, hip-hop, and Afro-Caribbean rhythms. Early singles like “Cabin Fever” and “Humanitarian Pt. II” have already garnered praise from major outlets, signaling the album’s rich, genre-blurring approach. The title hints at themes of tension and confrontation, with the band continuing to explore complex emotional and sonic territory, building on the groundwork laid by their debut *XVI*.
The final single, “Rapids,” is a fitting preview, with its watery groove and hypnotic, mantra-like vocals creating a simultaneously comforting yet unsettling atmosphere. Premiered via *FLOOD Magazine*, the track encapsulates Seafoam Walls’ ability to fuse fluidity with tension, making the song both immersive and elusive. As the band steps further into their experimental blend of sounds, this album promises to push their artistry into exciting new territory.
