'Telepathy Dreams' is a new self released CD by the talented Flica. After the Japanese release 'Nocturnal' amazed everyone's faces clean off, this fine CD veers between twinkly, lush & sun kissed electronic lounge pop with huggings of woozy emotion, waves of what Phil thy calls "etherealness"; sauntering beats and shimmering guitars that recall Yellow 6; drowsy synch loops & sweet glitch that sounds a little BOC inspired; heavenly layers of brooding drone with ponderous; detached piano musings like a ghostly Satire sketch on top and the occasional piece that calls to mind a lazy afternoon lying on an Ibiza beach with nothing but blue skies & swaying bikini clad honeys to trouble your mind. A nicely varied collection of warm hearted quality electronica & mood pieces.

What their label says...

Reviving romanticism in the material world is a task often endured by musicians and artists. Doing so without the use of words or lyrics makes it all the more daunting for experimental soundscapist, Flica.

Flica aka Eu Seng Seto is an unassuming KL-based electro-acoustic outfit. At first glance, this shy and introverted character doesn’t strike as the passionate-type. But a closer look reveals his depths of emotion, much like his music. The 26 year old artist began his musical odyssey in 2005 with his first electronica project as duo Muxu, with former Citizens of Ice-Cream guitarist, Huat Liang. Soon, Flica realised the need to explore his own style and in early 2007, he began solely crafting his music in the solitude of his bedroom.

Armed with an arsenal of sound programmes, acoustic and electric guitars as well as pianos, Flica conquers ambient fields with concise arrangements. His live performances are spontaneous affairs, combining loop effects with organic on-the-fly programming and his admirable work-ethic has resulted in debut album, Windvane And Window. Released earlier this year, it saw him collaborate with famed Tokyo indie label mastermind Akira Kosemura and electro-acoustic musician Haruka Nakamura. His latest album, Nocturnal is another electro-ambient masterpiece.

But if Flica is a composer and musician by night, he’s talented graphic designer by day. He designs his own sleeves, album covers for Mu-nest Records releases. Escapism may be nothing more than dreaming, but Flica’s creative musings will surely help to easy the burden of a jaded Sandman.
