Seefeel
Squared Roots
Boomkat Product Review:
Swiftly following 'Everything Squared', Seefeel complete the picture with another seven dreamy, dub-spangled experiments extracted from the same sessions.
If its predecessor was a chance for Mark Clifford and Sarah Peacock to look forward and examine how their vintage textures might mesh with contemporary bass music, their focus deepens a little here. Recorded at the same time, 'Squared Roots' gives us an opportunity to get closer in to the duo's thought process as they run through classic textures - the kind of humid ambience that lifted '(CH-VOX)' - and a selection of rhythms that split the difference between 'Quique'-era dream dub and more modern soundsystem evolutions.
'Ten Trails' dislodges a noise-damaged, skeletal beat behind pitchwheel synths and shattered fragments of Burial-esque ambience, while 'As X Is Y' sprinkles in some subtle subwork, breaking up the carbonated pads with knife-edge percussion and propulsive womps. The beat disappears completely on standout track 'Touchless Tones', where Peacock's sublime chorals vanish into woozy, tape damaged harmonics, and on 'Unfurled', they cycle a bank of mangled loops against a baked bassline. Add this lot to the 'Everything Squared' playlist and you've got Seefeel's most convincing set in almost three decades.
