Seekae – ‘Snax’

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Sydney three piece Seekae (pronounced C.K.) are a tough band to pigeonhole musically. Using a variety of sounds – including synthesizers, glockenspiels and spoons – they create simple, experimetal(ish) and oft-gorgeous downbeat instrumental hip-hop.

The above track is taken from their (self funded and produced) debut record, The Sound of Trees Falling on People.

Tough to pigeonhole musically? I’d put them in the ‘blatant Boards of Canada rip-offs’ pigeonhole personally.

These guys are the hottest group in the world. They play a mean live show too. No computers! They are playing at the Hopetoun this Friday.

BTW the track linked on here is called “Snax” not “Centaur”. :/

Seekae have taken BoC to a new level, and it’s the tip of the iceberg.

Enjoy x

I personally always feel slightly unfulfilled by instrumentals.
The music is awesome, but someone could add a wonderful extra element with some vocals…

Jimi somehow i know that there is a version of this track with vocals/rapping which will be released in the coming months. Somehow.

Very well put together. I can hear influences of lamb. Very natural feel for something so produced.
Does music HAVE to be pigeonholed??!!
Dont put vocals in it. Leaving it open without a voice puts the listener in a more personalised state, listening close to the melody and rythum.
Well done… want to hear more of it.

Just got on to the music of these guys, and it’s a breathe of fresh air for Australian Electronica, sure you can hear the influence of Boards of Canada, but there’s also elements of Autechre and Aphex Twin too… these guys dont sound contrived, they’ve added their own personality to the tracks on their Album and I can’t wait to hear more from them as they develop their sound.

Leave the vocals off, the music is rich enough as it is.
