If you’re looking for a late-night track that wraps you in deep grooves and shimmering textures, “Nighthawks” by Manchester’s Sea Breeze delivers the goods. The song feels like a midnight cruise through the city, guided by steady rhythms, dreamy guitar lines, and an atmosphere thick with mood and movement.
The trio—known for blending psychedelic rock with funk, soul, and a dash of disco—brings a confident energy that’s easy to get lost in. From the moment the bass kicks in, the track pulls you forward, keeping your head nodding and your ears tuned to the subtle details unfolding in the background. Guitarist Joel Eastwood lays down swirling riffs that drift effortlessly over a tight rhythm section, creating a rich, cinematic feel. What stands out is how natural it all feels. Sea Breeze never overcomplicates the arrangement. Instead, they let the groove do the talking, and it speaks loud and clear. It’s the kind of track that fits just as well in your headphones during a solo night walk as it does filling the air at a packed gig.
“Nighthawks” is a preview of their upcoming album UNTITLED, and it’s a strong one. There’s a sense of purpose and maturity in the song that shows how far the band has come since their first release. For me, it’s one of those songs that you come back to again and again without realizing how many times you’ve hit repeat. Sea Breeze is on the rise, playing sold-out shows and turning heads at festivals around the UK. With each release, their sound grows more defined, more magnetic. “Nighthawks” is no exception.
Don’t sleep on this band. Follow Sea Breeze, stream the track, and add it to your favorite playlist. Whether you’re winding down or tuning in, this is the perfect vibe to carry you through.
