SEA FREEZE, the debut album from long-distance electronica collective CAPAC explores human absence and loss of control. Sunken beneath the towering steel and icy glass of a modern dystopia, the album is characterised by a leitmotif that snakes, sneaks and squeezes through ten pieces; emerging and decaying as a dusty piano recording, a found sound and a subtle guitar, punctuated by the ebb and flow of the group's vocalist Kate Smith.

All too aware of the trend in popular electronic music to conform to 16 bar structures, Capac challenge the convention; drifting with purpose in and between spaces, taking Sea Freeze ‘off grid’; exploring texture, ambience and flow amongst compound meter.

Capac channel inspiration from across the contemporary avant-garde. From the dark throbs of Modern Love to the modern classical masterpieces of Kranky, their rhythms sit on the precipice of the armchair dancefloor, yet truly belong deep in the bass bins of the Boiler Room or Berghain.

Following the 2014 release of EP series Nested and Nested (The Other Branch), Sea Freeze marks a seven year evolution for the collective since their formation - at a time when the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference resulted in non-committal from all nations involved, frozen seas were confined to areas of the Baltic, and water on Mars was science fiction.

Capac are Stuart Cook, Matt Parker (of Nedry), Gary Salomon and Kate Smith. Live they perform with traditional instruments and electronics alongside projectionist and video maker Michael James Lewis, creator of a series of video pieces that complement the deep blue, icy textures of the album.

Any pre-order or vinyl purchase will come with an additional exclusive bonus track Trapped Under the Permafrost available as digital download from Bandcamp.

Sea Freeze will be released by This Is It Forever Records in the UK on Monday, 4 May 2015 as a limited edition 12” Vinyl and digital download available from all good music vendors. This Is It Forever is a Manchester based independent label formed by electronica duo Gavin and Tom from Ghosting Season and worriedaboutsatan.

Sea Freeze

This track was written in an afternoon on a rainy day in Bristol inspired by thinkers writing about the subject of love as an infinite energy field. 'It is love, not reason, that is stronger than death' - Thomas Mann. Written and produced by David Mackenzie. Mastering by Alex Pettman @ Debut Audio Mastering.

Tunndra - Love Is A Spectrum

Do not try to water thee
I have seen some intervene
Try to love me forest green
I have only you and me

I have only you and me
Though I'd like to be machine
Wild elms take hold of me
Never was your forest green

Do you feel it? 
I got the bloom
In my heart

Do not try to smother me
Meant to be, it's meant to be
As you dangle from the ceiling
A bloom may come to life

Oh, tell me do you feel it?
I got the bloom
In my heart

Bloom
