Despite what The Borings might want to tell you, at a time when indie bands often feel like carbon copies of one another, the quintet that have already taken by the horn section offer something rare and opulent. Their music, drenched in baroque-pop influences, blends orchestral grandeur with indie-rock urgency. The kind that demanded attention through the scale of the drama alone.
But even with accolades piling up, the band remained refreshingly nonchalant about the scale of their success. This way, we can enjoy every moment and then move on to the next thing. Despite this nonchalance, their accomplishments are undeniable. But with that connection comes pressure. Lizzie Mayland admits to feeling the weight of expectation after releasing early singles. The band have often been noted for their sartorial choices, and they take that seriously, too.
The members are just as comfortable in ballgowns as they are on stage with electric guitars. I can do whatever I want. This authenticity shines through in their live performances, where they create an immersive experience for the audience. But even as the band basks in their success, they have their eyes firmly set on the future. Turns out, they managed it much quicker than that.
For a band as committed to their live performances as The Last Dinner Party, larger crowds are not just a perk but a chance to bring their theatrical vision to an even grander stage. With newfound creative freedom after setting up their own label, Alt. Records, Sea Girls have leaned into a sound that feels both expansive and personal.
Their live shows remain a high-energy affair, where the sweat-drenched catharsis of youth is celebrated with every fist pump. Brothers Ross and Rocky Lynch have come a long way since their R5 days, constantly showcasting their knack for crafting genre-blurring indie-pop.
