Seeland - Tomorrow Today

Seeland was formed in 2005 by Broadcast's founding member Tim Felton and Bill Bainbridge from Plone. Influences: space-age pop, BBC Radiophonic Workshop, Joe Meek and sixties eccentric library music. In other words, one can expect from this group, now a trio with bassist Neil McAuley, kind of a retrofuturistic indie pop with electronic tendencies. Almost like Stereolab, but still in its own way.

Tomorrow Today is the first full length album following a single and an EP. The record combines 60s psychedelia, 80s new-wave and modern indietronica and the result is a charming, a bit of naive avant pop work. There are several strong songs here, the most likely candidate for a single is "Burning Pages". Experimental, yet accessible. Modern, but harking back to past. Mechanic, but warm and natural sounding. This is Tomorrow Today by Seeland.
