Bad Sea

**Bad Sea** is the brainchild of Canadian multi-instrumentalist and producer Jake Eliot, a Vancouver-based artist blending dreamy indie rock with introspective lyricism. Emerging in 2020, Eliot’s project quickly gained traction for its hazy guitars, hypnotic rhythms, and candid storytelling, anchored by releases like *Solid Air* (2023) and the dual single *Tell Me (What I Mean)/Over My Head*. His DIY ethos shines through self-produced tracks that balance raw vulnerability with polished, atmospheric soundscapes, earning comparisons to acts like Beach Fossils or DIIV.

While Bad Sea remains Eliot’s solo endeavor on recordings, he’s known to collaborate with a rotating cast of musicians for live shows, bringing his studio creations to life with a loose, energetic vibe. Though he keeps a low profile personally, his music often grapples with themes of self-doubt, connection, and the search for meaning—a vibe that resonates in tracks like the jangly *Tell Me (What I Mean)* or the swirling *Over My Head*. Keep an eye on this one; his sonic tides are rising.
