From Vintage Tapes to Modern Waves: SFMD’s ‘Diving Board’ Revives the '80s!

“Diving Board” by SFMD Emerging from the vibrant heart of Liège , a band has surfaced, encapsulating the quintessence of a nostalgic epoch with a contemporary flourish. SFMD, an illustrious Belgian collective hailing from the Francophone sector, has been meticulously sculpting a distinct niche within the musical cosmos, harmonizing an eclectic fusion of Synthwave and pop elements. Incepted in the twilight of the 2000s, SFMD has unveiled two auditory compilations that have garnered acclamation from aficionados within Belgium and the international expanse. The ensemble’s constituents are progenies of the 1980s,  a decade enshrined within their sonic creations.

"Minor Peace" (Album) by Seek Warmth

Seek Warmth

... started as a lo-fi pop/indie two piece in Bristol, formed in the corridors of a school by two teachers. Songs quickly formed, with an emphasis on melodies and strange structures they called 'math pop'.
A support with Portland's Lithics soon followed. At gig number two (at The Louisiana) Paul and Jay met drummer Cal and they became a three-piece, adding powerhouse beats to the mix. Several gigs later and the band gained a bassist called Miles and honed their sound to something more brash and post-punk and while still retaining pop hooks.
During lockdown one they recorded their first album, Minor Peace, in the basement of the Louisiana, with producer Will Carkeet (Pet Shimmers/Robbie and Mona) to be the first release on the new Bristol label Elastic Furniture.

Seek Warmth - "Minor Peace" (Album)

Wir begeben uns heute nach Bristol, ein Ort der dafür bekannt ist gute Musik bzw. Künstler hervorzubringen. Dieses Mal ist es eine Band namens Seek Warmth, welche sich vor einiger Zeit zusammentat um ein großartiges Album zu veröffentlichen. 
"Minor Peace" heißt der Longplayer, der unter anderem die überragenden Singles "Gather/Howl" und "Sunrise Sunrise" enthält. Dazu gesellt sich ein weiteres Highlight namens "Pillar to post", eines meiner Favoriten und ein Stück namens "Something usual", welches beinahe schon Richtung dreamy Indie Pop tendiert. "Mind your thinking" und "Wicked turn" runden das gelungene Erstlingswerk der Band gekonnt ab, wobei letzteres nochmals für einen abschließenden Höhepunkt sorgt. 
Der Gesamteindruck von "Minor Peace" ist definitiv außerordentlich gut und bietet eine perfekte Mixture aus LoFi Alternative meets Poppy Post Punk Vibes in der catchy Melodies im Vordergrund stehen und die Arrangements für Abwechslung und Überraschungen sorgen. Listen NOW! ... you will not regret it!
