"If you're troubled by the retrograde state of guitar-based music, Larsen warrants your attention..." - ALL MUSIC GUIDE
"They center their songs around the dynamics of multiple guitars, which may erupt in buzzsaw staccato and then glide into sublime arpeggiated chords..." - THE WIRE
"This is the soundtrack for bad dreams and good nightmares; a strange, strange world." - ERASING CLOUDS
Following Larsen's critically and commercially successful full-length Play on Important, we bring you SeieS, housed in a deluxe Important Records cardboard gatefold sleeve and printed on matte paper to look almost as good as it sounds.
SeieS is Larsen's fifth full-length, and work on it began when the band was recording Play. However, where Play was Larsen's most orchestrated/ambient work, SeieS tends to be quite a bit more song-oriented. Tracks like "The Snow," "Haula" and "Marzia" are Larsen's most sinister compositions, disturbing soundscapes that would fit very well in a David Lynch movie.
The remaining tracks feature female vocals thanks to ex-Swans chanteuse Jarboe. Also outstanding is the work of Larsen's beloved cello player and longtime collaborator Julia Kent (of Antony & The Johnsons).
