Album Description

Seekonk makes music that is sad and warm and wise. It is music designed for the listening room, particularly the inner one you always carry around with you, bustling with that ever-present dialogue. It helps quiet things down in there. <P>Seekonk is five players from Portland, Maine who like to try different instruments on for size, including a cello, trombone, xylophone, and bowed amplified birdcage. The band began as a result of two guys getting dumped hard by their sweethearts within weeks of each other. Songs happened. Then they asked a girl who lived on an island to sing these songs for them. Makes sense somehow. <P>Some have said Seekonk reminds them of other bands like Pink Floyd, Low, The Velvet Underground, and Neil Young. Seekonk is not averse to being called a "head" band. Their debut album For Barbara Lee sounds particularly lovely in the here and now. And yet it has an ageless quality. That's a pretty neat trick. <P>Here indeed is music as inviting as any you might hold dear.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Evocative enough for the soul, ambient enough for work.......2006-08-17

After hearing the samples, I made this the first CD I've bought for myself in two or three years. I was a bit nervous: so many commercial CDs have two good songs and 8 fillers.

I shouldn't've been nervous. This is independent music, free from big label demands for hits and air play. This disk is filled with music that can make you both melancholy and hopeful at the same time. But what's better is that I can take this to work and listen. To be sure, to get the full effect you do need to listen closely, but it's dreamy music that works its magic even when you can't pay full attention.
