Let me start by saying right off the bat that I’m not sure there’s a band out there right now as cool as San Francisco indie four-piece Seablite. It’s incredibly exciting when the songs, sound, vision and style all come together as they have in the lead up to new album Lemon Lights.
After the Chameleons UK-esque Darkwave strut of previous cut Pot Of Boiling Water, latest single Hit The Wall takes us firmly and fluidly back to the indie dancefloor. To my mind at least, there’s always been a connect between the hypnotic atmospherics of shoegaze and the rhythmic pulse of dance music, and Seablite ride that wave perfectly here.
Built around the kind of groove that would have been twisted into all kinds of shapes and possibilities by the hippest remixers of a different era, Hit The Wall is a giddy, breathless rush of energy from a group steeped in togetherness and working in perfect harmony.
