IF EAST Yorkshire duo Seafret's debut album is anything to go by, they could be an act to get excited about in 2016.

Jack Sedman and guitarist Harry Draper, both from Bridlington, have already performed at Glastonbury and Latitude and supported James Bay and Hozier, and their music sits nicely with those - for the moment - better-known acts.

Taking cues from the gentle acoustic style of Turin Brakes and Ed Sheeran, songs such as Over, Be There and To The Sea, featuring the wonderful vocals of Rosie Carney, stand out among the 15 tracks.

Over, in particular, has a singalong chorus and Mumford-esque banjo, which should make it a favourite during live shows, while the sombre and intricate picking of Be There, coupled with Sedman's earnest vocals and another great chorus and handclap moments, make it another singable track.

If there are any quibbles, it's that there isn't a huge amount of variety, but Tell Me It's Real feels like a lot of work has gone into the writing, and the simple, sparse arrangement throughout helps highlight the quality of the vocals and guitar work.

*Seafret play Bridlington Spa Theatre on February 8.
