The new EP, a continuation on the themes of previous album “3”, was praised for its beautiful brushstrokes of sound.
“The pieces of music on offer from SEIMS are like nothing else that you will listen to, and is a piece that will take the listener on a journey of auditory delight. Its beauty lies in the ability to transform the music throughout each piece so that where it begins is not where it ends and it is a display of music mastery.” – 27 Magazine
“Beautifully arranged chaos with picturesque moments of emotion flowing throughout.” – Music Beyond Headlines
“Is ‘cinemathic’ a word? If it isn’t..well..it is now. Cinematic/Math rock..yup.. Cinemathic. This music has an epic flavour to it. As if the motifs and melodies that surge through the walls of noise don’t belong to a film soundtrack?” – myindieaustralia
3.1 is SEIMS’ fourth musical instalment and was recorded and mixed by Tim Carr (Matt Corby, We Lost The Sea) at One Flight Up Studios and at Harry’s Sunbeam and mastered by Jeff Lipton and Maria Rice at Peerless Mastering (Battles, Lightning Bolt, City & Colour).
