Cinematic Math-Rock Project SEIMS Releases New Album "V" This Week.

Australian cinematic experimental/ math rock project SEIMS will release their new album "V" this Friday, October 10th via Bird's Robe Records/ dunk!records.

"V" is a new full-length album featuring their signature blend of complex rhythm, memorable melodicism and sonic exploration.

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 Four which saw them pick up a sizeable underground audience and launched them on tours around the world, including performances at ArcTanGent (UK), Dunk! Festival (Belgium) and supports for And So I Watch You From Afar (Northern Ireland), sleepmakeswaves (Australia) & Delta Sleep (UK).

The new record V expanded on themes explored on Four with exquisitely crafted arrangements of tracks ranging from complex odd-meter timing to standard rhythmic feels. Preoccupations picks up where Showdown Without A Victim left off, evoking 65daysofstatic’s Wild Lightera mixed with Stranger Things. Chaos Within A Construct continues a similar vein, infused with the relentless energy of contemporaries like And So I Watch You From Afar, but blended with the clean tones and beguiling precision of a mid-west emo math rock band (or Delta Sleep, if you’re more that way inclined). But then you have tracks like the Rush-meets-Oasis-with-a-hint-of-Moby melodic pop-prog of Forever The Optimist which maintains SEIMS unique ability to straddle parallel universes. It’s the perfection of the experimental side that is most appealing with SEIMS. These are sonic explorations, but conducted with compositional mastery by monster players and performers.
