1.04_A Purple Habitat_seesawtrace
Seesawtrace continue their musical photosynthesis, exploring the botanical
nature of sound, now working with vocalist Anee Baker and developing as a trio
within the new six track CD called �A Purple Habitat�.
The opener �Tripletmix� paints trip-hop textures, reflecting life contradictions and
duality. DJ Tr!p prunes back a version of �Lunchmunchers� into his own
electro-glitch �awkward smile� remix. The shimmering beauty of �Fire
Orchids�, the lullaby chill of �Ice Song�, touching at the heart of endings and
new beginnings. The title track �A Purple Habitat� explores a manga-esque
dream of lasting connections, beats over sound and insects and pollen.
The Entish lament �I Choose the Shadow� paints a vision through the eyes of a tree
and is organic and earthy.
The cover artwork is beautifully charged up and teaming with life, a piece of art
sustained by energy of its own, feeding on an allergic reaction of sound, nurturing songs that poison.
�A Purple Habitat� is a musical botany, like a blossoming planthouse, filled with a
deceptive colourful beauty, yet at the same time filled with pollens that can make your eyes boil.
The only remedy is a large dose of antihistamine maybe?
