Australian experimental rock project SEIMS will release โFOURโ this October, a new full-length album featuring their most engaging and hypnotic material to date.
The brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Simeon Bartholomew, SEIMS has evolved into an explorational and formidable band over the course of several records, including their most recent release โ3โ and โ3.1โ which featured the stabbing punk of โCyanโ and lilting math-rock ode โImperfect Blackโ.
The new record showcases the bandโs delicately crafted arrangements on tracks including the beguiling 65daysofstatic โWild Lightโ era tinged post-math-rock of Elegance Over Confidence, the soaring modern post-rock of The Mountainโs Scream and the dark โStranger Thingsโ evoking electro-prog of Showdown Without A Victim.
The album was written & produced by Simeon Bartholomew himself, engineered by Tim Carr (We Lost The Sea), mixed by Alex Wilson (sleepmakeswaves) & mastered by Jeff Lipton and Maria Rice. As well as Simeon performing bass, guitars, synths, piano & vocals himself, it also features blistering performances from Plini drummer Chris Allison, Kat Hunter & Susie Bishop on violins & Tangents/FourPlay member Peter Hollo on cellos.
โFOURโ is out on Friday 22 October through Art As Catharsis Records, Birdโs Robe Records & Dunk Records.
For fans of: Battles, The Physics House Band, 65daysofstatic, Adebisi Shank, Alarmist & Three Trapped Tigers.
