Artist to Watch For:
Seneca and the River
15/04/2015- Song River
Indie music is giving us all something fresh and through the layering of elements we can connect and relate to the simplicity of the melodies. We find ourselves in the lyrical lines, and strongly identify with it. As the Alt Folk Sound of Seneca and the River has captivated the indie music department, their self- titled EP release is anxiously being received. (April 24th release date on iTunes).
Seneca and the River-Seneca Pettee (Vocals/Guitar),
Tyler Porterfield (Mandolin/Vocals),
Luke Strand(Trumpet) and
Kaeleigh Hamel-Curd (Drums), originally formed during the summer of 2013 in Los Angeles for an Artist Development Competition and they won. Through the process of time, the original twelve members became four, and now are signed to the label Pop Cautious Records. The indie sound of Seneca and the River is getting more than just noticed, they are their own identifiable sound.
Their
first EP blends the layers of Mandolin, drums, trumpet, guitar,
vocals, and ease as the song, Come
Down Here,
catches one tapping their foot along to the comfort of a catchy strum
and the sound of horns. Hold
Me Up
is
reminiscent of an ode paid to a love from afar, Seneca's vocals are
breathtaking, and the slide lends itself to the feel. A simple
timing, and beat give way to Love
Does Grow Old,
begging to be let go. To fill out their first EP, Wasting
Time,
completes their freshman delivery... and leaves us ready for their
full album release.
A
measure of folk, indie, and alt-country, Seneca
and the River bring
their own unique sound that contains a blend of yesterday's moments
into the Alt Folk Sound. A modern presentation to add to today's
music.
Lately
was their first video released.
