Seadog - is the Brighton-based project of musician/songwriter Mark Benton and Tom Chadd along with their eclectic troupe of performers. They create dream-pop songs combining a variety of influences into a myriad sound of lullabies with anthemic electric and acoustic samples and textures.

Seadog have previously worked with Phill Brown (Audio Engineer for Talk Talk, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Bob Marley) to complete their debut album "Cabin Fever Blues", released in 2018.

"Tidal Wave ticks all the boxes for me...but above all, it sounds like it's flying and I have a soft spot for songs that sound like they are flying." - Jason Lytle (Grandaddy)

"Seadog have been quietly working their way into our hearts through a consistent run of tracks released over the last few years. Seadog's home within our hearts is set for many more years to come." - Simon Raymonde (Cocteau Twins/Bella Union)
