Local Park is the first single to be taken from Seeland's second album 'How to Live' (Out September 2010.
A gorgeous summer stroll of a tune perfect for the splendid weather we've all been enjoying Europe-wide.
'Local Park' celebrates the Great British tradition of heading straight for the closest patch of grass as soon as the sun appears, in order to soak up the precious rays so rarely seen on our often grey isle.
Instantly familiar in the tradition of The Kinks or The Small Faces and yet decidedly 'other' in it's musical vision, 'Local Park' is as uplifting as the sun and optimistic as summer itself.
This little pop gem is the audio equivalent of strawberries and cream.
Seeland are Timothy Felton, Billy Bainbridge and Neil McAuley, sonic pioneers associated with Birmingham's 'Retro Futurist Electronic Scene'. The band was formed when Tim and Billy left their respective bands (Broadcast and Plone) and started writing songs together that could express the sounds of their minds.
Now often mentioned alongside Ghostbox artists like The Advisory Circle - who they have recently remixed - and Mordant music as part of a scene sometimes referred to as 'hauntology', the new album will once again feature artwork by Julian House, the perfect wrapper for a classic platter.
