“Sea” by Roosevelt

“Sea” by Roosevelt is one of my favorite songs right now.

I discovered them while I was in the UK in February through the magic of the record label Greco-Roman.

Taking on the same kind of beachy sounds of bands like Surfer Blood, DIIV, and Swim Deep, Roosevelt then branches out to add in a disco-inspired bassline turning it into one of the danciest beach songs to rain down from the SoundCloud.

Swim Deep at Thekla in Bristol

BoxSpeaker takes it international today for the Swim Deep show at Thekla in Bristol, UK!

The Birmingham, UK- based Swim Deep has a very special special place in BoxSpeaker’s heart solely because of their extreme knowledge of (or at least homage to) California geography. They have the following California-related songs:

King City (a city in Monterey County):

Orange County:

Santa Maria:

Isla Vista (the college town area of Santa Barbara):

Conclusion: Aptly-named Swim Deep loves the beach cities. AND their show tonight is at Thekla, a boat-turned-music-venue!

Just wish they’d give the Torrance/Redondo/Hermosa/Manhattan/Santa Monica area some lovin’. Maybe next EP.
