New Seiho: “Taboo”

ByPatrick St. Michel

Lord, I can feel the sweat on this song’s back. Seiho has been exploring this terrain for quite some time – locking disparate sounds together in such a way that they sound natural for one another – but on “Taboo” he’s hit on something particularly steamy…like, how muggy a jungle can get. Maybe it stems from a manic hip-twister turning into a saxophone interlude transforming into a…bird-chirped-backed weather channel escape. But man, here Seiho really shows off how good he can be with the texture of sounds. Just listen to those bubble pops! Or those synths! This is a fidgety song, but also an incredibly physical and intimate one. Listen above.
