Emerging from London’s underground scene in the early ‘90s, Seefeel very quickly became one of the most progressive acts of their time, blurring the boundaries between guitar music and electronic experimentation. Their debut Quique (1993) immediately set them apart from the shoegaze scene and pointed more toward the rise of IDM.

Aphex Twin was an early fan, he remixed Time To Find Me twice and eventually brought the band to his Rephlex label. In 1994, Seefeel made history as the first guitar band to sign to Warp Records – where they released the darker and more fragmented Succour, together with the influential Starethrough and Fracture/Tied EPs, followed by the sparse Ch-Vox.

After a long hiatus, Seefeel returned during Warps 20th anniversary with a new, more powerful line-up, followed by their self-titled album in 2011. Warp celebrated their legacy in 2021 with the Rupt & Flex box set, confirming Seefeel as pioneers of an groundbreaking sound that has only increased in relevance today.

Pitchfork (Best New Reissue): “Seefeel twisted conventional rock instrumentation into increasingly arcane shapes, forging a singular fusion of ambient, techno, and dub that still inhabits a class of its own, 25 years later.”

DJ Mag: “Perfectly positioned at the juncture of shoegaze, ambient and electronica.”

Uncut: “Paints a picture of a group both of and ahead of their time. 25 years on, the world is now primed to appreciate Seefeel’s influence.”

The Wire: “Tells a compelling tale. Time has been kind to Seefeel, and the bases they cover, from Cocteau Twins-inspired roots to Basic Channel-adjacent dub techno.”
