The Sea Nymphs are an English psychedelic folk band formed in Kingston upon Thames in 1984. The group, whose studio line-up comprised Tim Smith, Sarah Smith and William D. Drake, are commonly regarded as the quieter side to the parent band Cardiacs. The members were integral to the 1980s sound of the band and their music's recognition in punk and goth circles. Rooted in folk and chamber music, their sound is much lighter than that of their parent outfit. The songs dispense with the use of loud guitars and drums, in favour of differing vocal rhythms, keyboards and brass instruments. However, the music still contains Cardiacs' trademark off-the-wall chord progressions and sudden time changes, albeit in a slightly gentler fashion.
