The Worry – “The work of a highly intelligent and self-disciplined trio, whose gift for ear-worm melodies is now at the fore. Seekae are operating on a different level of complexity from their peers” 1⁄2 – Resident Advisor – “Alex Cameron’s husky yet fragrant vocals offer a delicious juxtaposition with the overarching melancholia that permeates Seekae’s third album.” – Mojo Magazine – “It’s actually hard to recall another band that changed its style on its third release so fundamentally and sounded so good doing it… Seekae are too smart and loaded with talent…This music feels relevant and, like its forebears, it probably still will years from now.” – In The Mix – “It’s at once romantic and nightmarish, like something out of David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive.” – The Guardian – “A fantastic album” – 1⁄2, Musikexpress  Test & Recognise – #5 Best Track of 2014 So Far – InTheMix – ‘Matching a love of 90s IDM with a physicality which can only come from a flair for live performance’ – Clash Magazine  Another – “The Icy, somnambulant trudge of Another provides The Worry’s most affecting moment” – Mojo Magazine – ‘Atmospheric electronica at its finest’ – The Guardian  +DOME – ‘It’s a surprise that this album of sharp-edged, glacial, organic electronica, hails from sunny Sydney, Australia. ’ – MOJO Magazine, Album of the Month – ‘Equal parts rock, hip-hop and experimental, it’s one of the most interesting records of the year thus far.’ – 1⁄2, Resident Advisor
