The Sea Nymphs were an English psychedelic folk band from Kingston upon Thames, England, a side project by Tim Smith, Sarah Smith, and William D. Drake of the band Cardiacs. Their musical style is much lighter than that of their parent outfit, Cardiacs; 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.
