Seagull – Seagull

At first thought you’d probably think that a duo LP of Electric Guitar and Violin could either go two ways. Atonal free jazz squawking or soothing new age relaxation. To be truthful this LP falls somewhere in the middle. It has soothing ocean sounds to go with the Seagull moniker but at times also some pretty interesting ideas and interplay between the two instruments. Ultimately I am left wanting something a little more fiery after sitting through a whole LP of this, but it is interesting and not completely without musical merit. It is from Seattle and looks like a product of the 70s. Check out the track “Toward Heaven”.
