Astral Winds/High Tides by Seahawks

4...according to our on Thu 20 May, 2010.

These Seahawks are totally obsessed with space-age shit!! They love it! So here we have a themed picture disc 7" with a track that pays homage to the vast depths of the ocean and another celebrating the the unending vastness of the cosmos. The aquatic side is uber- aquatic! It's like swimming the briny depths of the ocean with a (waterproof) spliff chuffing away and a James Ferraro record playing on your i-pod. The deep space side is equally as literal in it's construction of sounds but is no less satisfying. The production is mind-bendingly good and beneath the waves of space tone madness I can make out an almost afro-beat style rhythms. This comes with a bonus CD that includes an additional seven tracks (NOW SOLD OUT) . Though i've not got time to have a listen, i'm pretty confident that they will be well good. Totally worth mentioning the Pete Fowler artwork on the picture disc, it's a beauty.

Seahawks sail inland with two sun bleached slices of psychedelic deck shoe gaze and pan fried beach pop.Moored offshore next to a Cornish atoll and utilising modern aqua technologies they captured the sounds of snorkelling, the melodies of the ocean and sub Neptune deep harmonics.Obsessed with the sounds of the smooth and the deep, seahawks create an oceanic tapestry of deep listening ambience, phased beats and celestial debris filtered from the briney ether.Swim with the dolphins and take a trip into the blue if a merman you should be.http://seahawks77.wordpress.com/ . Very limited picture disc with artwork by Pete Fowler.
