Seefeel
Along time has passed since the seminal sounds of Seefeel's Spangle came to the fore in 1994 but those who remember Seefeel will be delighted by their return in 2010. Originally forming in 1992 in London with Mark Clifford on guitar, Mark Van Hoen on bass (later to be replaced by Darren Seymour), Justin Fletcher on drums and Sarah Peacock on vocals, the group quickly signed to the British Independent label Too Pure. Early on their sound was characterized by the shoe-gazing dream pop from the 1990's such as My Bloody Valentine & Co. This soon changed after they signed to Warp Records in 1994 where the band decided to explore darker and more abstract forms. It wasn't until 1996 whilst on AFX's Rephlex label that the band bled one of their final releases.
That was until the end of 2009 when Seefeel announced that they would partly be reforming for a gig in Paris during the Warp20 Celebrations (video below). For reasons mostly geographical neither Justin Fletcher nor Darren Seymour could make the gig. Instead the other members of Seefeel where accompanied by Lida Kazuhisa (E-da, former Boredoms) on drums and Shigeru Ishihara (aka Scotch Egg) on bass.
With a recent remix of 'Chain', a School of Seven Bells track out on Ghostly International, we can only look forward to hearing their new album and live DVD that will be available early 2010. For further information on tour's...
