Seefeel

silent green presents

Emerging from London’s early ’90s underground, Seefeel quickly became one of the most forward-thinking acts of their time—blurring the boundaries between guitar music and electronic experimentation.

Initially grouped in with the shoegaze movement, Seefeel’s use of samplers, loops, and processed textures pointed to a different future—one more in line with the emerging IDM sound.

It was this hybrid vision that caught the attention of Aphex Twin, who was such a fan he remixed their track Time To Find Me twice, on the condition that they would eventually record for his Rephlex label. That collaboration—and the band’s growing connection to electronic music—culminated in Seefeel becoming the first guitar-based group to sign with Warp Records in 1994.

Their Warp debut Succour (1995) marked a significant shift, trading the lush melodies of Quique for darker, more fractured rhythms and industrial atmospheres. It was preceded by two influential EPs, Starethrough and Fracture/Tied, and followed by the stark, experimental Ch-Vox mini-album on Rephlex in 1996.

After going on hiatus in 1997, Seefeel returned over a decade later, debuting a bold new lineup at Warp’s 20th anniversary event and releasing a self-titled album in 2011.
