Sea Lemon announces debut LP, shares “Stay,” touring with American Football & Death Cab for Cutie

Seattle-based musician Natalie Lew has announced her debut LP as Sea Lemon. Diving For A Prize is due out on June 13 via Luminelle. She worked on it in Seattle with collaborator Andy Park, and you can see the cover art and tracklist below.

The first single is the dreamy “Stay,” which Lew says “was the first track I actively wrote for my record,” and calls it “a little vignette of a man I saw in a local thrift store. 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.”

Lew has a few Sea Lemon shows lined up this summer supporting American Football and Death Cab for Cutie in the western US. See all dates below.
