Seagrave - Seagrave (2014)

Following the recent release of "Tick Tock", UK artist Seagrave is ready with his first full-length artist album, featuring 9 well-crafted songs in the downtempo and chillout genres. The intro track, "Dawn", includes truly mesmerizing arpeggio leads, and additional percussion sounds and intermittent melodies provide additional texture. "Storm" introduces an extremely soothing atmosphere, including lush pad layers, sound effects, and a calm piano melody in the background. The enjoyable voice of Seagrave blissfully adds a unique touch to this song. A haunting beat and crispy melodies introduce "H2O", and the combination of gorgeous pad layers and piano lines carefully carries the track to its completion. "Void" quickly establishes a darker and energetic soundscape. It features a mesmerizing vocal stem, energy-filled pad layers, and many intriguing arpeggio leads. A gorgeous atmosphere is introduced in "Mountains", and Seagrave's voice once again flows really well with the enjoyable pad and percussion structures. "Solar Flare" begins with quite unique percussion and sound effects, and a powerful, well-crafted bassline adds extra texture later. "Winter Dust" continues in the same style, where darker melodies and sound effects dominate the soundscape. A hypnotizing aura introduces "Ember", and the song features intriguing synth layers and percussion elements that unite beautifully. Last but not least is "Tick Tock", which was recently released as a single with two interpretations from Jani R. It is a calm, inspiring outro tune, which perfectly encapsulates Seagrave's talents in the chillout and downtempo genres.
