Your New favourite Band #72 :SEASFIRE

January 25th, 2012

Following a big musical movement, there is always the inevitable fallout of imitation. Endless and often painful imitation. In the wake of post-dubstep there has been many a James Blake copy. However, sometimes artists get it oh-so-right; taking influence and making it entirely their own. SEASFIRE are just such a band. Capturing intimacy in the haunting and melancholic beat and matching it with a clean and more immediate vocal.

An assault of fuzz almost threatens to disrupt Falling before dropping back into eerie minimalism. It just adds to the tension of the track. Always hinting to grow larger, SEASFIRE thankfully restrain themselves and the result is a superb display of mature and beautiful song-writing.

Falling is the first official offering from the band and is released at the end of February. You catch them live at Communion Presents live at Notting Hill Arts Club on Sunday 5th February 2012.
