“Foam in the Ocean”, from Seattle, Washington garage-pop, post-punks SEASIDE TRYST is their take on the Hans Christian Anderson classic “The Little Mermaid” which is arguably one of the more devastating allegories of queer longing. In the original story, instead of becoming a beautiful, Disney-fied woman following a kiss, Ariel disappears forever after she turns into foam in the sea.
A running theme throughout SEASIDE TRYST‘s debut album is escape – be it fast, slow, wanted, or necessary – on land, sea or motorcycle. The title “Different Places” is literally ‘somewhere besides here’, and the group drops references to ponies and Enya conjuring the notion to run or sail away (sail away).
SEASIDE TRYST “finds their legs” on their new video for “Foam in the Ocean” officially out Aug 9, 2024, filmed and created by Ashley Nieves.
