FOUR

TheEliteExtremophile
Deft percussion, vacillating guitar, and lush synth, string, and brass textures are this band’s bread and butter. The songs build effective tension, and each track is distinctive while also fitting into the album’s unified whole.

I can hear their voices in the back of my head.
I can see their silhouettes waiting on me. Inching on me.
I can feel their presence weighing down on me. Expecting me.
And I bite my tongue to keep them at bay.
But I'm afraid, that they'll escape.

Crying
out of the void
she can't see.
Frightened
not knowing
where she will be.
Screaming
Falling to my knees / Fallen to our knees
How did I end up here? / How did we end up here?
Wondering
What will be
Am I dreaming? / We're not dreaming.
How can this be? / I can't believe
she's real.

Death To The Babyboomers
by GODSWOUNDSFeaturing 2 members of the SEIMS live lineup, a former Mr. Bungle drummer, and guests from (the) Melvins, Red Sparowes, and more. Glitchy 16-bit nightmares, recently toured with Regurgitator.
go to album -
An incredibly powerful "math-pop" album by Kat Hunter, our live violinist / synth player. Superb songwriting and a lush soundscape that's so dreamy and demanding of your attention.
go to album -
A Series Of Disagreements
by Instrumental (adj.)Insanely good. Written by SEIMS' live drummer Chris Allison and our good friend Simon "thanks" Dawes, prepare for ridiculous rhythms and solid riffs on an EP that I consider to be too short in length.
