'Seafoam' is the follow-up to Kamikaze Girls' acclaimed debut EP, 'SAD.' Exploring wider musical influences from shoegaze, fuzz-pop and the heavier side of the genre-spectrum they call home, 'Seafoam' is a record that feels like a weight being lifted and a focused, sharpened quill being shifted to new targets.
Kamikaze Girls are set to play a series of festivals in
Europe this summer, including 2000 Trees and Truck Festival, and are confirmed to play FEST 16 in FL this October.
The duo is currently out on a UK co-headline tour with Nervus.
