INTRODUCING: SEAMS

Seams is the latest addition to the Tough Love family, whom some of you may have become acquainted with at the last Old Money. We’ll be providing more details on his forthcoming debut TLV release in the next week or so, but for now, here’s a simple biog and the requisite MySpace link >>> HERE

“Seams is 21 year old James Welch from the leafy suburbs of southern England. Spending his days interning at record labels across London and taking shifts at a local restaurant, Seams spends his nights making irrepressibly emotive electronica.

For some, Seams’ style of music is labelled that of Soundscape, for others it’s post-Dubstep, you might even try beatless House. In truth, it’s none of these. It is simply a reflection of James’ thoughts, moods and surroundings, and the resulting sound is Seams.

Following on from Seams’ self-recorded, self-released, pay-what-you-want debut album ‘A Juvenile Rush’ last year, comes his debut physical release ‘Nightcycles’. A beautiful 7 minute journey “inspired by the freedom of 3 a.m. bike rides on deserted roads, and constructed primarily of samples taken from a nineties Elliott Smith documentary”.
