Seagoth are Georgia Ochoa (20) and Hannah Gannon (19) from Halton. The Serial Culture team found out more about them. Who is Seagoth? “Seagoth” was me trying to come up with a genre, so I thought ‘Sea’ for surf rock guitars and pre�y sounding vintage keys, and “goth” because my lyrics are pre�y gloomy. I’m hoping they’re gloomy in a “I'm making the best out of this situa�on” kind of way. How would you describe your sound? Psychedelic Synth/Dream Pop. Who are your musical influences? MGMT, Twenty One Pilots, Slowdive, Declan McKenna, Wallows, Bad Sounds, Dayglow, Alt J, Bombay Bicycle Club, Grouplove, Her’s, WILLOW, Toro Y Moi, Mk.Gee, COIN. & too many others. What is your ambi�on for Seagoth? We’d love to create a space for people where they feel like they belong & can enjoy themselves. Having grown up with so few woman/queer role models, I wanted to try to encourage our constantly overlooked & under-appreciated women/queer folk to not give up on themselves. Learning to love yourself is hard but so is not loving yourself. What ar�st would you like to support? I’d die to support Declan Mckenna to be honest. Live vs recording which is best for you? I’m a perfec�onist so ge�ng things close to perfect is really sa�sfying for me, however super frustra�ng. Live music however is so much more fun though, nothing beats in person compliments.
