"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).
