In the News (Tue 29 Dec 09)

  
  TrouserPress.com :: Seefeel
When London's Seefeel released its first EP in 1993, the quartet was one of the few bands using guitars as a primary instrument in creating largely textural pieces, more in line with the ambient sounds of contemporary electronic bands.
Seefeel's first proper album, the seductive Quique, is an hour-long expansion of the same themes, with a subtle shift toward sound over substance.
The distance between lead-heavy basslines and the airy snippets of Peacock's vocals is considerably thinner, however; on the title cut, the vocals and Clifford's inventive guitar permutations hang like a fog over the thick rhythms.

 VH1.com : Seefeel : Biography
Seefeel began auditioning songs and was ready to record their first single for Too Pure Records, but experienced a change of heart that caused the resulting EP More Like Space to owe more of a debt to Aphex Twin than alternative rock.
In 1993, Seefeel released their debut album Quique, an even colder document of ambient indie techno than the previous EPs had predicted.
Though Seefeel returned in late 1996 with their third proper LP, Ch-Vox, the group took an open-ended hiatus after its release.

 The Lost Generation: Pitchfork Feature   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Seefeel, for instance, followed another combination of guitar background and techno impulse, bringing all that floaty art-pop and shoegazer delicacy into the world of beats-- and casting themselves as central figures in the first wave of indie kids to go electronic.
Seefeel's career was all about straddling those two worlds, making bridges between them.
As time passed, and Seefeel merged more completely with the techno world, it began to seem more and more like their original form of indie-electronica was a pretty useful addition to the musical landscape.

When it wasn't, that is, because there was something of the same sense of space, loop and monstrous feedback scrape everywhere, like on "Polyfusion," for instance, as the dub-like echoes played out amongst an eternally returning scream.
But the thing is that Seefeel rapidly became their own particular thing, and have since then deeply enjoy fragmenting, reassembling and recombining; the band is long since gone but I have this sneaking sense they all get together on weekends for parties.
Mark Clifford ended up getting the lion's share of the attention if only because he was the one behind the guitar noise and the arranging, but it was only him nobody would care as much.

 Opus - Seefeel - Quique
Seefeel was probably one of most criminally unknown bands of the whole shoegazer era in the early 90s.
Overshadowed by groups like My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Ride, and Swervedriver, Seefeel released "Quique" in 1993 and it's probably accurate to say that this album best bridged the gap between dreampop, techno, ambient, and jungle.
The beats and basslines on "Industrious" are laid down with mechanical precision, like assembly lines where Steve Reich is piped in over the PA, and "Imperial" is living proof that you can use words like "swirling" to describe ambience and not sound cliched.

 Scott Heim's Noise: Song of the Day #3   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The technique of this song is deceptively simple: they take an intense, mesmerizing piece of sound, whether it be a guitar effect, a fractured piece of a voice, a drum loop, whatever, and then just keep adding another on, another on, another on.
Seefeel's later records were great, too, and Scala, the band formed by 3/4ths of Seefeel, were wonderful...
One of my hugest regrets in life is not seeing Seefeel live when they played (the only time they played, I believe) in New York in the early 90s.

 Mouse on Mars: Rost Pocks: The EP Collection: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Seefeel was among the first bands described as "post-rock" by journalist Simon Reynolds.
His version of post-rock described bands that started with a rock structure and instrumental set-up (guitars, bass, drums, etc.), but used these tools to create music that put more focus on rhythm and texture, as was more common in club music.
Sometime around 1993, Jan St. Werner and Andi Toma of Mouse on Mars sent their demo tape to Too Pure because they admired the music of Seefeel, and I'm guessing that the title of this Too Pure EP collection is a reference to the band that brought them into the label's orbit.

Seefeel, meanwhile, moved on to the much icier climes of SUCCOUR and [CH-VOX] before splintering into such projects as Scala, Disjecta, Aurobindo, and Sneakster.
QUIQUE submerses Seefeel in the little-fluffy-cloud-reflecting pool shared by such atmospheric architects as The Orb and 20th Century minimalists like Philip Glass and Steve Reich.
Peacock's seraphic vocal wisps are whipped to soft-peaked froth in the Seefeel centrifuge or tauntingly revealed as loops are peeled away.

 Scala
Scala take the rhythmic, ambient guitar sonic veil of their progenitor, Seefeel, adds Sarah Peacock‚s glass-blown vocals and, most importantly (most prominently), lyrics that convey in their fragile psychic reservoir a richness of emotion and honesty, all wrapped around a misshapen center-piece: uncertainty.
A perfect tentative mood is set by the music, the perfect tonal compliment to the lyrics; and then, the voice: clear like the bluest of skies, but at the horizon, an overcast shadow of doubt; and furthermore, the lyrics: the internal monologues and questions that one asks when the relationship is deteriorating (i.e.
With their original Seefeel incarnation on the backburner for the moment, founder members Sarah Peacock, Daren Seymour, and Justin Fletcher have hauled along their mate Mark Van Hoen (otherwise known as Locust), to regroup under the Scala moniker.

 Seefeel- Mark Clifford interview
Here in the States, in particular, there's never been much information regarding the four-piece: even when Seefeel was still officially together, the only resources I could find about them were a terse but well-informed unofficial website (located HERE) and another site that continues to map various Seefeel offshoots to this day (located HERE).
But it seems like one of the things that might have resigned Seefeel to a certain level of obscurity was the fact that its name couldn't be interchangeable with a particular style or regional sound.
I mean if Daren and Sarah came to me and we got together and they had some great new ideas and I had some new ideas and we put them together and it made a great record, and it was relevant, and it was a step forward, I'd be quite happy to to it.

Seefeel sound to me like a really shitty Labradford doing dancehall covers of the intro of "Won't Get Fooled Again" (on track one), Grandmaster Melle Mel's "White Lines" with an F/i sample (on track three)...and I had more good comparisons but now I forget them.
I found that Seefeel really compromise what they are trying to do by using "traditional" instruments.
Guitars and synth melt into stratus clouds of ether, with the synth occasionally doubling the vocalist, a la Seefeel, to provide an angelic echo insinuating itself into the deep space sound.

 Neumu - 44.1kHz
The original track is age-old by electronic music's standards — first released on Warp Records' 1994 Artificial Intelligence II collection — but this remix is new and eagerly awaited by fans of both groups.
By the end you're left with just the tones and ever-haunting whale singing, but the rhythm, even though silent, is there in the slightly metallic change to the sounds, and when it ends it's not an exhalation, but it's not just noise fading away either.
There's an unidentifiable difference in the music that comes out of a band, compared to a duo such as Autechre, and Seefeel's earlier guitar and indie-rock work expresses their interest in making electronic things sound natural and vice versa.

This album of illegible, deep throated drones, windswept, glistering resonances and treated boffin-voices by Seefeel bassist Seymour and 'Locust' Van Hoen gives some clue to Seefeel's recent sandblasted Succour album.

Seefeel fit somewhere between electronic bands like Black Dog or Aphex Twin and primarily guitar/dreampop groups like My Bloody Valentine or Slowdive, and on QUIQUE they perfect the art of creating a swirling, trance-like music that seems, in retrospect, wholly their own.
Mark Clifford and the band often begin a song by taking a mesmerizing guitar or rhythm loop, building around it with another loop, then building around that with some sort of odd vocal or bass splinter, then building, and building....
Mark Van Hoen of Locust (who later worked with Slowdive, Sing-Sing, the Seefeel offshoot Scala, and other bands) was an engineer on QUIQUE, so there's much of his trademark wall-of-sound and beautiful noise.
