Sea Lemon, the gauzy project of Seattle songwriter Natalie Lew, has announced her debut LP, Diving for a Prize. Completed with collaborator Andy Park (Death Cab For Cutie, Deftones), the record is out June 13 via Luminelle Recordings. Along with the announcement, Sea Lemon has shared the groovy, mesmerizing ‘Stay’. Check it out and find the album cover and tracklist below.
“‘Stay’ was the first track I actively wrote for my record, and is a little vignette of a man I saw in a local thrift store,” Lew explained in a statement. “This older guy, probably in his 70s or 80s, was acting as a security guard at this thrift store near my house, but he was basically asleep on the couch the entire time I was there. I couldn’t stop thinking about him after I left, and wrote ‘Stay’ as a reaction to seeing this guy who I felt deserved to take a break. The song became a short story about him, and about how important I feel it can be to have someone in your life willing to telling you to take a step back and just relax.”
