Afterlight EP

Waking Up

To Have and To Hold is not a biography, a lecture, or a historical reconstruction. It is an imagined world — one you step into to feel your way around an idea rather than to learn it.

The album takes place loosely in early-20th-century Cambridge, at the moment when Western thought was beginning to strain under its own certainty. Science had proved astonishingly powerful at breaking reality into parts, explaining mechanisms, and producing results — yet at the same time it was encountering problems it could no longer fully contain. Probability was replacing certainty. Events mattered as much as objects. Meaning no longer sat still.

Out of this tension emerged process philosophy: the idea that reality is not made of finished things, but of ongoing happenings — that love, time, marriage, and even truth itself are not states you reach, but activities you keep participating in.

The album imagines this moment through a human lens. A mathematician trying to complete a system of logic. A thinker insisting that nothing important is ever truly finished. Proofs accumulating. Years passing. A marriage understood first as a statement, then slowly revealed as a practice. Love appearing not as romance in the foreground, but as something quietly unfolding elsewhere — happening whether it is attended to or not.

Rather than explaining these ideas directly, the songs allow you to inhabit them. You hear bells ring. You feel evenings close in. You sense the weight of unfinished work and the relief of letting something continue without control. The philosophy is not taught; it is lived.

This is a soft documentary in sound — an audio quantum leap into a world. Its purpose is not accuracy, quotation, or instruction, but immersion. By the time the album ends, you may not be able to define process philosophy in a sentence — but you may feel why it arose, what problem it was answering, and why it still matters.

To Have and To Hold is an exploration of commitment not as possession, but as attention.
Of marriage not as a conclusion, but as renewal.
Of understanding not as something you arrive at — but something that keeps happening.

If you listen closely, nothing here ever quite resolves.
But something continues.

The Marriage Problem

~Lyrics:

With my eyes on Orion 
I am still hunting for a home
Come morning I’ll be flying 
Far from the only place I’m known

I cannot pretend I don’t need you my friends
I know it doesn’t show
And I can’t stand the thought of leaving again
Now it’s time to go

Lord, it’s been a long time 
Since I have seen my sister’s sons
The rope that binds unravels 
When you’re travelling, when you’re always on the run.

Timid, The Brave - Time to Go

Sean Christopher ‘A Thousand Hues’
The new single out January 19th on Dumont Dumont

“A beautifully composed piece of music, there's a marvellous sense of balance in Sean's songwriting, with those lingering guitar notes underpinning his softly intense vocal” CLASH

Taken from the forthcoming debut album 'Yonder' coming May 11th 

+ LIVE IN LONDON AT THE SOCIAL(FRUKT free event), FEBRUARY 6TH 

‘A Thousand Hues’ is the beautiful new single from Bristol-based singer-songwriter Sean Christopher, released today on Dumont Dumont (Ry X, Charlie Cunningham, Josin). 
A heartbreaking song inspired by real life tragedy, ‘A Thousand Hues’ is the third track to be taken from Sean’s debut album ‘Yonder’ - due for release May 11th – following previous singes ‘Carry On’ and ‘Paper Plane Pilot’, which was chosen by Lauren Laverne for BBC 6Music Recommends. 

“I read a story a few years ago about a Japanese man who lost his wife during the Tsunami back in 2011,” says Sean of the single. “He could not find her on land and decided to take diving lessons to search the sea. I was really moved by it and ‘A Thousand Hues’ was written soon after.”

Sean Christopher has been immersed in music all his life. As a child growing up in the Netherlands he would listen to his father play Flamenco guitar for hours and hours every day, while his mother’s extensive vinyl collection introduced him to legendary artists like The Beatles, Leonard Cohen, and David Bowie. 

An alumni of the Royal Conservatory in The Hague and Codarts in Rotterdam, where he studied music production, Sean began creating music for films and commercials shortly after graduating. In 2014 his song ‘Everything’, composed and produced for an international car commercial, began to get him noticed, reaching a million streams on Spotify. 

Back in The Hague, Sean built himself a basement studio and decided to record his first full-length album. Hidden away, accompanied only by his ever-growing collection of instruments and his dog Ollie, he began to work. In the end, it was his father's old Flamenco guitar that took centre stage and drove the recording of what was to become ‘Yonder’. 

After relocating to Bristol last year, Sean signed a record deal with Swedish label Dumont Dumont, home to artists including RY X, Charlie Cunningham and Josin. 

Praise for Sean Christopher:

“Something really warm about his voice... it’s reminding me of Jeff Buckley, it’s beautiful."
Georgie Rogers, Virgin Radio

"His work is rooted in pastoral acoustic climes, while still reaching towards the personal. Recent single 'Paper Plane Pilot' is a beautiful example of his artistry” 
CLASH

“A very listenable and magnetic bit of guitar pop” 
Blahblahblahscience

“An accomplished listen – one that’s alive with tight melodies, intelligent lyricism, emotional content and a really appealing set of vocals" 
**** Indie London

“His vocals pour like honey into the mix and the whole track feels like an elixir for simple happiness“
Indie Shuffle

"Heart-touching lyrics, soothing vocals and a melody to die for. Yeah, Sean Christopher's "Paper Plane Pilot" is quite the find!” 
Stereofox

📝 Lyrics:

Those tail lights
from a drizzly night
as you leave for your mothers house.
It felt like a little boat
had left its shore and I’m on land.

Chin to chest,
all days conclude.
Chin to chest,
and just regrets.

For I will row my boat
in no direction now.
For I don’t need no compass
I just need to sink
In the sea...

Ending a week
is like starting one,
For I see nothing ahead.
An empty flat and frozen food,
and those pictures of you.

Chin to chest,
All days conclude.
Chin to chest,
and just regrets.

For I will row my boat,
in now direction now.
For I don’t need no compass,
I just need to sink.
In the sea…

In the sea...

Sink

Lyrics: 

HOME

You’ve been brought up 
In an unfamiliar town
And boy you got used to 
Strangers and their frown
They brought you up
By holding you down
By holding you down

It felt so rough
To stand on your own
With no scope for
Somebody to moan
It’s been so rough 
To have a room but no home
A room but no home

But you grew up and you swore
To add chapters of ease
May they cover your core
Like the rings of old trees

I will hold yours
And you will hold mine
I’m gonna hold yours
And you're gonna hold mine
