Seafret - 'Signal Fire'
Alongside the announcement of their new album 'Fear Of Emotion' - Seafret have just released their latest single 'Signal Fire'.
Following a slew of recent singles including the BBC Radio 2 A-listed “Five More Seconds “ (with KT Tunstall) and over 2 billion streams across their catalogue including their viral hit “Atlantis” sitting pretty at over 1 billion and counting, Yorkshire duo Seafret return with the announcement of their long-awaited fourth studio album ‘Fear of Emotion’, set for release on March 27th via Nettwerk, alongside a stirring new single “Signal Fire”.
A poignant, banjo-laced anthem about seeking solace and connection in the midst of inner turmoil, “Signal Fire” showcases the open-hearted lyricism and cinematic sweep that have become Seafret’s hallmark. Written with a universal message of hope at its core, it’s a track that builds from quiet reflection to emotional release.
“‘Signal Fire’ was written as a reminder that help exists and you never have to face the darkness on your own,” the band explain. “The story in the verses centres on a relationship, but we wanted the chorus to be more universal and reach beyond that.”
The single offers a powerful first glimpse into the world of ‘Fear of Emotion’, a bold, richly layered collection born from a year of creative renewal. Written and recorded across 2025, and produced by long-time collaborators Steve Robson and Sam Miller, the album finds Jack Sedman and Harry Draper reconnecting with their roots while pushing the limits of their sound.
“You’ll never be alone again”, sings Mancunian’s finest wordsmith Antony Szmierek, and it’s hard to argue with him after a joyous night filled with dancing in a sold-out Kentish Town Forum to his garage beats and spoken-word. Nobody felt alone that night, that’s for sure.
