Album Review: Follow Me Me Me by Sea+Air
Alright, let’s talk about Follow Me Me Me, the 2015 album by Sea+Air. If you’re into that sweet spot where indie pop meets folk with a dash of world vibes, this one’s for you. Released under Glitterhouse Records (shoutout to Germany!), it’s got this raw yet dreamy energy that sticks with you long after the music stops.
First off, the track “I Never Met Someone Like You” is an instant earworm. It starts off kinda quiet, like a secret being whispered just for you, and then BAM—it builds into this lush, sweeping tune that feels like falling in love at sunset. The vocals have this heartfelt honesty to them, no overproduced nonsense, which makes it feel super personal. I kept replaying this one because, well, who hasn’t felt that way about someone? You know, when you meet someone so extraordinary they mess up your whole brain?
Then there’s the title track, “Follow Me Me Me.” Oh man, this song hits different. It’s playful but also kinda haunting, like a lullaby for wanderers. The melody loops around your head, and before you realize it, you’ve been humming it while brushing your teeth or whatever. There’s something hypnotic about how it repeats “follow me,” almost like it’s daring you to chase after something—adventure, love, self-discovery, take your pick.
What I dig most about this album is how unpolished it feels in all the right ways. It doesn’t try too hard to impress; instead, it lets its quirks shine through. That mix of indie pop and folk gives it a timeless vibe, like it could’ve come out 20 years ago or yesterday. And honestly, isn’t that what great music does? Makes time feel irrelevant?
Anyway, here’s the random thought to leave you with: Listening to Follow Me Me Me feels like finding a dusty old map in your attic. Sure, it might lead nowhere, but the journey sounds pretty damn fun. So go ahead, hit play—you won’t regret it.
