Biography
The band formed in 1992 in London,
England, with guitarist Mark Clifford, Mark
Van Hoen (bass) drummer Justin Fletcher and vocalist Sarah Peacock.
During 1992, Mark Van Hoen was replaced by Daren Seymour on bass. They
released their first EPs and first album on the British independent
label Too
Pure in 1993. The band's music was stylistically situated at the
intersection of dream pop/shoegaze and ambient
techno/IDM. The band signed with
IDM label Warp Records in 1994, after which point
Seefeel's music became darker and more minimal. The music became less
collaborative within the group after the move to Warp, as is made
evident by the similarities between the 2nd Seefeel album Succour, and
subsequent Mark Clifford solo releases. The band ceased making music as
Seefeel in 1996, and also performed their last live concert in 1997
alongside Boards of Canada. Members of Seefeel have continued to
release new material under different aliases and projects.
Post-Seefeel endeavors
In 1996, Scala
was formed by Fletcher, Seymour and Peacock, along with Mark
Van Hoen. Peacock later contributed slide guitar, keys and backing
vocals on the band January's albums, I Heard Myself In You
and Motion Sickness . She currently plays with The
Gemma Ray Ritual and The Mighty Shimmering Beasts.
Clifford has been releasing solo work since 1995 as Disjecta and
Woodenspoon, and formed Sneakster with Sophie Hinkley in 1999. He has
done remixes for the Cocteau Twins, among others.
In 2003, a remix of "Spangle" (from the Starethrough
EP) by Autechre was released on the Polyfusia label. AFX
has done two mixes of "Time To Find Me" (from the More Like
Space EP); one of these mixes appeared on the Aphex Twin
compilation, 26 Mixes for Cash.
Re-release
On May 14, 2007, Seefeel's 1993 album Quique
was re-released on UK-based label Too Pure as Quique (Redux Edition).
The original tracks have been remastered and a second disc, which
contains several rare remixes and previously unreleased tracks, has
been added to the the album.
