Seahorse Boe

Their sophomore full-length. A more intricately conceived work than their last album, "Still Life Hear Me," "The Seahorse Boe" soars off on a wave of chiming guitars and keyboards. "Offering symphonic moments of weeping pop, the Southampton-based quartet are an engaging faction. Beginning with the sublime ‘The Human Strain’, ‘The Seahorse Boe’ snakes its way through hushed acoustica, delightful strands of alt-folk, and some surprisingly dynamic rock, whilst never overlooking its debt to the pop-fused wonderment of Grandaddy. They may be outside the zeitgeist but, much like their label, Black Nielson are beyond fashion. Superb stuff." -- Josh Timber, Logo-Magazine.com
