After a six-year hiatus, Seluah, who are four respected touring musicians in Andrew Killmeier, Matt Johnson, Andrew Peace and Edward Grimes have regrouped with a bold, guitar-driven sound.
The Other Side of The Gun clocks in at just three seconds shy of the seven-minute mark and explores 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 laid back a 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 some sort. Unfortunately this doesn't happen as there is a complete pause of a second or two before layered distorted guitars start their surprised assault over the continued tempo. Incorporating clean-delayed guitars also, the remaining two-and-a-half minutes is an interesting section of the song that won't be for everyone but sounds every-bit like the satisfying expressions of some creative musicians who aren't on a particularly tight leash.
Seluah’s The Other Side of the Gun on Karate Body Records is now available worldwide from digital retailers.
