Serafina, or Sefa, Steer was born in London. She has released two albums on Static Caravan; ‘Cheap Demo Bad Science’ (2006) and ‘change is good change is good’ (2010) and an EP ‘Public Spirited’ was made for a tour in Japan (2008) supporting Tara Jane O’Neil (ex Jackie O’Motherfucker). Mike Lindsey (tunng), Capitol K and Benge (aka ‘the synth king’) have, between them co-produced all of her releases to date. A new EP of harp songs was recorded in a day by Paul Jones and will appear on Stolen Recordings later this year. As well as harp, Serafina plays keyboards, synths and bass.
She has recently been working in the studio with Chromehoof & Patrick Wolf for their latest releases and in the band for a seminal John Foxx (Ultravox) analogue synth show at The Roundhouse. She has played with and supported a wide range of artists including Viv Albertine, Young Marble Giants, tunng, David Grubbs, Buck 65, Sebastian Rochford, JP Masseira, Beth Jeans Houghton & Mary Hampton.
'Bloody Hell' a five track EP, was recorded in a disused gymnasium in an abandon school and is Serafina's first release with Stolen Recordings.
