Seth Quinn - A Wave

Seth Quinn is a singer and songwriter from Australia with a new single. "A Wave" was written following a traumatic incident Seth experienced during his beachside honeymoon, where he witnessed a woman drowning in the ocean. Unfortunately, no one on the scene was able to get to her in time. Seth and other bystanders brought her body to the shore, but it was too late. She could not be revived.
"A Wave" was written as an attempt to process and make sense of what happened that day.
With his music, Seth attempts to find a balance between forces, be it a push-pull of aesthetic affinity or the deeper polarity between beauty and its opposite. This expansive and cerebral personal document leverages a big bass presence, a popcorn guitar riff, and subtle vocal drawl that pairs well with the tight, riff-driven rhythm section. The result is a perfect marriage of disparate audio effects, chunky guitar tones, and a coded narrative of excitement, danger, and dark tragedy.
