Continuing the revival and evolution of their creative spirits, Seafret have been busy gearing up for the release of their latest studio album, Fear of Emotion. The duo has given us a sneak peek at what's to come on the album, teasing fans with the fresh, meaningful lyricism and addictive quality of their newest single "Signal Fire." Explaining the inspiration behind the song, Seafret shared, “‘Signal Fire’ was written as a reminder that help exists and you never have to face the darkness on your own. The story in the verses centers on a relationship, but we wanted the chorus to be more universal and reach beyond that.”
Embracing the signature sound fans have grown to know and love, Seafret have delivered another genre-bending single with "Signal Fire," weaving elements of folk-pop with pop-rock. The track features an open-hearted narrative coupled with an optimistic soundscape, showcasing a mix of driving beats, anthemic melodies, and explosive instrumentals laced with a characteristic, flowing banjo. Feeling almost timeless and nostalgic in a way, "Signal Fire" is reminiscent of both modern and earlier folk-pop hits, making it the perfect discovery for fans of Train, Noah Kahan, The Lumineers, and Mumford & Sons.
A decade into their career, Seafret are a duo comprised of two best friends and musical co-conspirators, Jack Sedman and Harry Draper. Neither musician could have predicted the success they have seen, riding the wave of their hit single, "Atlantis," as it reemerged into the limelight through a viral TikTok moment that has gifted the pair over a billion streams and 10 million monthly Spotify listeners. Over the years, Seafret have built an impressive catalog, having released three studio albums as well as several EPs and singles. They're off to a strong start in 2026, giving us much to be excited about on the horizon as we all anticipate the release of Fear of Emotion.
