"The Sea Is a Good Place to Think of the Future" is a song by Welsh indie pop band Los Campesinos!, released on 2 September 2009 as a promotional single for their third studio album, Romance is Boring.
An accompanying music video was shot in Barry Island and directed by band bassist Ellen Waddell.
[2] In November 2021, the band released a remastered version of the track, coinciding with the tenth anniversary of Romance is Boring.

[5][6] Interpreting the lyrics to tell the story of a suicidal girl and her lover, Vulture writer Ian Cohen described the track as "five uninterrupted minutes of tidal post-rock" and a "future genre classic, even if no one really knew what to call it".
