Seefeel share a second offering from their upcoming album Sol.Hz, their first full-length in fifteen years. Pioneers of Warp’s guitar-led sound, they return with a beautifully blurred collection of fractured melodies and vaporous textures, due 1st May. When asked to describe the sound of new track Until Now, the band summarise it as “touched tones and feedback”.
In some ways, Sol.Hz can be regarded as Seefeel’s ‘dub’ album; the deceptively cloud-like arrangements of Mark Clifford are somewhat ambient-adjacent at low volume, but blasting out of a proper sound system, the cavernous bass and skilfully employed effects are more apparent, messing with the listener’s perception. As always with Seefeel though, it never drifts too far into cold experimentalism or synthetic texture, with the heavily manipulated vocals of Sarah Peacock lending the tracks a vital human element, whilst processed guitar loops allow slivers of melody to drift through the trails of delay.
Stylistically, Sol.Hz builds on their 2024 mini-album Squared Roots, in the way that the material has been microscopically dissected and re-versioned until it reaches the perfect iteration. For a group who blur the boundary between solidity and space to such a radical degree, the much-reappropriated line from The Communist Manifesto, “all that is solid melts into air”, could be used as shorthand to describe the experience of listening their records. The album title can be translated literally as sun plus electricity, although the exact interpretation is ambiguous and left open to debate, just like Marx’s oft-quoted line.
Sol.Hz, is available on first pressing edition clear vinyl and CD, as well all streaming platforms. The Bleep exclusive bundle edition includes a risograph print and a mix CD called Rapture To Rupt, which is an immersive, hour-long journey through Seefeel tracks from 1994 – 1996, put together by Kenyan sound artist KMRU, previously available as a limited edition cassette, which has long since sold out.

About Seefeel
Seefeel signed to Warp in 1994 after releasing their acclaimed debut album on Too Pure, Quique. Initially grouped with the shoegaze scene, their use of dance, dub, and samplers linked them to the emerging “electronic home listening” sound popularised by Warp’s Artificial Intelligence compilations. Aphex Twin, a fan, remixed their track “Time To Find Me,” which led to Seefeel releasing (Ch-Vox) on his Rephlex label. They were also championed by Cocteau Twins, recording at their studio and touring as support; Mark Clifford remixed several of their tracks for the Otherness EP and performed live alongside them.
Their second album, Succour (1995), moved away from melodic, guitar-led music toward more rhythmic and quasi-industrial textures, preceded by the EPs Starethrough and Fracture/Tied and appearing on Artificial Intelligence II. Warp co-founder Steve Beckett noted, “Seefeel were the first band that Warp signed who had guitars… they became the ‘older siblings’ in the family and took all the flak.” The 6-track mini-album (Ch-Vox) (1996) marked an even more minimal direction, mostly by Clifford alone, foreshadowing his solo electronic work as Woodenspoon and Disjecta.
Seefeel went on hiatus in 1997, returning in 2011 with a self-titled album for Warp after a celebrated live performance at Warp20. Warp later anthologized their early material in 2021 with Rupt & Flex and the mixtape Rapture To Rupt. In 2024, the band returned with mini-albums Everything Squared and Squared Roots, followed by reissues in 2025 of Quique and early EPs (Pure/Impure).
Live performances remain central to Seefeel’s identity, often in a shifting lineup: Clifford, Sarah Peacock, and Daren Seymour, or Clifford solo with A/V dub sets. Recent appearances include A Warp Happening (London), Primavera Sound (Barcelona), and Extreme Chill Festival (Reykjavík). In 2026, upcoming European shows feature Clifford and Seymour, with Peacock and a live drummer planned for select dates.
Long considered between electronic and experimental guitar music, Seefeel’s genre-blurring sound has grown increasingly influential. Cited by newer artists such as Maria Somerville and Yu Su, they return in 2026 with Sol.Hz, a new album reaffirming that Seefeel’s time has finally come.
