Indie pop heroes Sea Girls unveil their exquisite new song ‘Falling Apart', which is featured on the official soundtrack for the latest instalment in the FIFA video game franchise, FIFA 23, out on 30 September.
Arriving off the back of a rapturous summer of festival dates and as the band look ahead to their highly anticipated UK headline tour in November and December, the brand new track, was recorded with producer Pete Robertson (Beebadoobee, Alfie Templeman) in just one day. Front man Henry Camamile said: “I got the idea for ‘Falling Apart’ after watching Jimmy Fallon and seeing Steven Van Zandt playing guitar in Springsteen’s E Street Band.
“That same day I had watched him in character as Sal in The Sopranos, so the inspiration was to write a song from that character’s mother’s point of view, along with mine, watching him play guitar on the TV and letting the art blend with reality. The emotion radiates loss and revenge in a murky underworld.”

‘The Hometown Tour’ kicks off mid-November with recently added shows due to phenomenal demand, and culminates with a massive show at London’s Alexandra Palace on 1 December.
‘Falling Apart’ is the follow-up to their latest record Homesick, released back in March this year and peaked at #3 in the UK Album Charts. The band – Henry Camamile, Rory Young, Andrew Dawson and Oli Khan – delivered thirteen measures of guitar driven pop brilliance. A deeply personal record, lead singer Camamile returned to his childhood home in Lincolnshire at the wake of the pandemic, finding himself having to address and reflect on events from his past, both good and bad.
A cathartic process, Henry leaves nothing to the imagination with his astute storytelling and candid lyrics. Delving into some of his darkest moments, the uplifting album comes as a sense of relief, a gratefulness for survival. Lyrically raw and packed to the brim with hooks, the band step into new realms with an added sense of maturity and a bigger ambitious sounding record.
