SEEFEEL - Sol.Hz

Released on Warp, “Sol.Hz” is the first Seefeel album after fifteen years of silence on the long-player format. The title translates literally as sun plus electricity, but it leaves a hazy ambiguity that underpins the comeback: a surrealist becoming of stretched-out chords and elusive harmonies rooted in shoegaze. The album is arranged as full-pressure ambient, and on a suitable system subterranean basslines surface, creating an altered, suffocating atmosphere. The real protagonist, though, is the percussive dub soul, which marks every low and mid frequency with surgical precision; a presence that, track after track, grows ever more abrasive.

The hits land fragmented, almost random; when they emerge, they destabilize. Over this irregular rhythm move Mark Clifford's synthetic architectures, Sarah Peacock's candid voice and her processed guitars. The synths oscillate between several microclimates: a nod to the IDM tradition that made the band pioneers, and the creation of atmosphere, cathartic or enigmatic, rather than of defined melody. Peacock's guitar moves between feedback and effects that sublimate the airy and the claustrophobic, while her singing proceeds in alternating steps, yielding ground to the instrument and its reverberations.

Compared to previous work, “Sol.Hz” moves decisively on the slow tempo of ambient dub. The record's strength lies in finding a balance between telluric materiality and the ineffability of nocturnal suggestions, whose intensity accumulates through stratification rather than development. In this dense, aquatic landscape, “Falling First” stands out with its light, ascetic sequence, almost an ambient house built on seismic tremors: one of the few bright openings on a record that prefers shadow to light. Seefeel find their measure in a suspended, physical electronics that never stops searching for new equilibriums.
