SINGLE REVIEW: Seluah - The Other Side Of The Gun
Seluah – The Other Side Of The Gun
Out now on Karate Body Records
After a six-year hiatus, Seluah – AKA touring musicians Andrew Killmeier, Matt Johnson, Andrew Peace and Edward Grimes –have regrouped with a bold, guitar-driven sound. Clocking in at just three seconds shy of the seven-minute mark, The Other Side of The Gunexplores various themes in its hefty running time.
Solid and apparently untreated electric guitar tones meld with live-sounding drums and a vocal that wouldn’t be out of place in a more relaxed Nirvana-era moment. Tuneful and thoroughly listenable in its progress with uncluttered production, The Other Side… delivers a robust and laid back alt-rock track that includes some purposeful vocal harmonies.
Three minutes in and the dirtier guitars join the drums and riffing bass in their building aggression, implying a crescendo or climax of sorts. However, this never fully comes to fruition as there is a complete pause of a second or two before layered distorted guitars begin their surprise assault over the continued tempo. Incorporating clean-delayed guitars, the remaining two-and-a-half minutes form an interesting section that won’t be for everyone but sounds every bit like the satisfying expressions of creative musicians who aren’t on a particularly tight leash.
Seluah’s The Other Side of the Gun is out now on Karate Body Records and available worldwide from digital retailers.
