Seefeel - Quique (redux)

Eeeeeeeeeeel

By Gillian Couch

Climactic Phase #3 gave me déjà vu again and again. It’s a dreamlike track, which somehow makes all normally perfectly tactile things seem hazy and imagined. While initially seeming daunting and eerie, it gradually becomes soothing and seeps into the background like a comforting smell.

If smoking yourself into a far away, self-constructed, worry-free world sounds like an ideal way to spend an evening, then this is definitely the soundtrack to do so to. The songs are long and repetitive, but they’re almost like a musical interpretation of the imagination. The soft, subtle vocals of Polyfusion are reminiscent of daydreams, trips and scenes in films when the character slips into some other dimension.

But it’s nice. It’s not so dreamy that you get bored, despite my first thought of “Oh, this is annoying”, which I was surprised to discover, disappeared almost as soon as I’d uttered it.
