Last year, Miami’s Seafoam Walls released their debut album XVI via The Daydream Library Series, the house record label of Ecstatic Peace Library operated by Eva Prinz & Thurston Moore, garnering wide acclaim from several outlets. Now, the band has shared a run of tour dates for their XVI Tour, first kicking off at Technique Records in Miami on Sunday, March 6 from 3-5pm ET. The band will then bring their savvy blend of jazz, shoegaze, rock, hip-hop, and Afro-Caribbean rhythms across Florida with Lando and the Infinite Sadness and Juvenoia before ultimately trekking to New York City for a show at The Sultan Room on April 2 with Mons Vi and Evan Wright. Tickets available here.
 
The name Seafoam Walls is meant to convey a sort of pseudo-chromotherapy, suggesting a relaxed mood when one is alone with their thoughts in a seafoam green-colored room. But the themes explored on XVI are heavy — self-identity, philosophy, navigating today’s crumbling social constructs — and stem from guitarist/singer Jayan Bertrand’s online interactions and personal experiences, making him question his and others’ humanity. A collection of songs as ethereal journeys; both the compositions and ideas found throughout explore a myriad of paths that almost never repeat themselves — and demand to be heard live.
