Yo, this is a certified heater. Denmark’s own Catch The Breeze and their song ‘Seaside’ is pure alt-rock muscle with shoegaze blood still pumping through its veins. It’s clean. It’s cinematic. It’s got a bassline that walks like it owns the shoreline. And the drums? Tight. Lean. No wasted motion.

But let’s talk about that voice. The frontman Aage Kinch looks like a Norse god moonlighting as a rock singer, and he sounds like it too. Rich, deep baritone that floats somewhere between late-period Bowie and Dave Gahan with a hangover. It’s a voice that doesn’t need to shout because it already fills the room. Pure presence.
Structurally, ‘Seaside’ doesn’t overreach. It knows what it is. The band hits that pocket between tension and release without leaning too hard into either. There’s an elegance in restraint here—reverb-heavy guitar textures that don’t dissolve into a fog, but instead shape the space. You could call it moody, but there’s clarity in the atmosphere. A deliberate kind of cool.
SCORE 8.9/10
Aesthetic with actual bite.
