Never ones to stand still Dons Rainbow marks a quantum leap for Seahawks, the first release on new label Ocean Moon and the first recording from the Invisible Sunrise sessions. Invisible Sunrise is the forthcoming album from Seahawks and the first to be recorded with live musicians rather than a hard drive full of dusty old samples. The results are stunningly original, not least on this track with New York head Autre Ne Veut. ANVS debut album last year on Olde English Spelling Bee was an incredible rush of warped R&B, 80s synths, amazing songs and what has to be one of the most innovative voices to emerge in the last 5 years. Since then hes released a great EP on Hippos In Tanks, played some mind bending live shows and guested on the Ford & Lopatin album. Dons Rainbow sounds like Michael McDonalds Sweet Freedom crossed with Nite Flight era Walker Brothers. A fantastic piece of hazy Avant Pop with Jan Hammer pulse wave synths, Yah Mo B There drums and fuzz drenched spirals of soprano sax and guitar colliding with the sound of soul from outer space. On the flip the dub takes the track into a world of shadows, where smeared washes of sound swim in an ocean of decay. As always with Seahawks releases the packaging is beautiful. Heavyweight vinyl in a full colour sleeve, with full colour labels. The last Seahawks release sold out in days, we expect this one to do the same, so get your skates on!
