about

I have lived through so many SEAGULLINVASIONS and they really don't run together. This one immediately crashes through the windows giving you textures & anthemic antics, plus some really surprising grooves- and there's nearly lyrics this time!
In the past this artist has participated in some extra expansive song structures. This time, its all loops like sung from electric talking dolls left out in the rain & ruthless clock radios, all served up on a comfortable bed of tape hiss, and mostly, a tomagatchi (cat?) on vocals. Except highlight 'wont b like u' where a creature with an old washcloth for a tongue admonishes the listener (clock radios coming hard in the back ground). And is the album title 'busted' as in all the melodies are taunting me? Maybe so. This album has absolutely filthy carpets. My personal fav is the track 'simple man'- a boneless beat crashes down the trail when the synthesizer incinerates all intruders. If prior release 'blurry' was sweating inappropriate amounts in public & the subsequent 'tunnel visions' was a dream sequence you recall throughout the morning, 'busted' is a squealing house party (in a smallish house). And "house party" has always been a rich venue for SEAGULLINVASION.
-Shopping Spree

“busted” was recorded live, to tape, in MONO, with a single microphone, pointed towards a single amp, using small electronics crammed in the corner of a small room in Brooklyn, NY (Winter, 2021). One track was conceived in a cabin sinking in to a hot rotting bog on my time off while working at a summer camp in Wyalusing, PA (Summer, 2021). Overdubs were recorded with the help of Briana Marela in a slanted room at the Slanted House in Oakland, CA (Fall, 2022).
