Seachange (band)

For other uses, see Sea change (disambiguation).

Seachange were a band from Nottingham, United Kingdom, that played a mixture of melodic folk and pop with a strong influence of alternative rock. They were the first British band to be taken on the roster of American indie-label Matador Records within five years. In Europe they were signed to Glitterhouse Records.

In late March 2007, eight years after their inception, the band announced their decision to split, citing external pressures and increasing involvement with other projects. Also mentioned was the fact that Daniel, David, Neil and Simon would continue working together on a new project under a new name (as yet unannounced). A final collection of songs, The Stars Whiteout, was released as a free download in August 2008.
