LP - Standard Edition Clear Vinyl in printed inner sleeve in 3mm spine sleeve. One of the pioneers of fusing shoegaze and electronic music, Seefeel returns with the first new music in 15 years.
Seefeel return with their first full-length album in fifteen years – a beautiful, hazy and blissed out collection of fractured melodies and vaporous textures.
In some ways, this can be regarded as Seefeel’s ‘dub’ album – the deceptively cloud-like arrangements of Mark Clifford are somewhat ambient adjacent at low volume, but blasting out of a proper sound system, the cavernous bass undertow and skilful employment of effects are more apparent, messing with the listener’s perception of
time and audio placement. As always with Seefeel though, it never drifts too far into cold experimentalism or synthetic texture, the heavily manipulated vocals of Sarah Peacock lending the tracks a vital human element, with processed guitar loops allowing slivers of melody to drift through the trails of delay.
The longtime perception of the band as sitting at the overlap point between electronic music and experimental guitar music meant that they were often overlooked during their original lifespan, not making music that was instantly recognisable to either scene. Over the years though, this blurring of genre lines increasingly looks prescient of where music was headed, steadily building a catalogue of music that hasn’t aged in quite the same way as some of their contemporaries.
Their influence has been cited by a new generation of artists such as Maria Somerville and Yu Su, and they return in 2026 with Sol.Hz, a collection of new tracks that further reinforce the idea that Seefeel’s time has finally come.
