Seafret

Seafret is a British indie-folk duo consisting of Jack Sedman and Harry Draper, hailing from the coastal town of Bridlington. Their identity is inextricably linked to their geographical roots; the name itself refers to the North Sea mist.

Musically, they occupy a space between the delicate fingerpicking of traditional folk and the anthemic emotionality of modern indie-pop. Their sound is characterized by Draper’s nimble, often percussive guitar style and Sedman’s distinctive vocal range, which frequently moves from a breathy whisper to a powerful, strained falsetto. Since their 2014 debut, they have cultivated a massive global following, particularly through the viral resurgence of their hit 'Atlantis.' Critically, they are noted for their sincerity and the 'unvarnished' quality of their recordings, avoiding the over-production common in contemporary pop-folk. They are often grouped with artists like Novo Amor and Amber Run due to their shared emphasis on atmosphere and emotional vulnerability, though Seafret maintains a more grounded, acoustic-centric foundation.
