Sacramento’s The Seafloor Cinema have just released their sophomore album and first for Pure Noise, In Cinemascope with Stereophonic Sound, following 2019’s A Metaphor for Honesty. If you’re unfamiliar, the band combines tech-y math rock with spit-shined, adenoidal pop punk, and there’s a hint of synthetic hyperpop/emo-rap in there too. Picture a cross between Maps & Atlases and The Starting Line with a TikTok-era makeover, and that should give you a pretty good idea. It’s not everyday that a punk band this radio-friendly also gets this musically complex, and it’s exciting to hear a band doing the unexpected like this.
