Deep Sea Arcade


Deep Sea Arcade is an Australian psychedelic band, formed in Sydney, New South Wales in 2008.
The group began as a home recording project of founding members Nic McKenzie and Nick Weaver during their mid-teens, using four-track tape recorders, broadcast microphones, analog synths and unconventional computer programs.
Their debut album, Outlands, released worldwide in 2012 through Ivy League Records. The band has played several sold-out tours across venues in Australia, the United Kingdom, and across Europe.
On 26 October 2018, their second album, Blacklight, was released. The album was co-produced and mixed by Grammy award-winning producer Eric J, and featured Matt Johnson on drums.
Weaver left the band in 2018 and died from cancer in 2021 at the age of 37. In 2022, an album consisting of Weaver's solo compositions was posthumously published, entitled Won’t Let Go.
In 2024, McKenzie announced a vinyl reissue of Outlands through Impressed Recordings, and revealed that a third studio album, featuring and co-produced by Jay Watson, is set for release in 2026 through Origin Recordings and Warner ADA.
