| Seagull - A Voice in the Ward Folk, Ambience, Atmospheric, Psychedelic | 30/11/2018 |
Seagull is a band centered around the songwriting of Chris Bolton, a classically trained guitarist from Melbourne. The music is hypnotic, melancholic and full of yearning.
This song is concerned with the thin line between insanity and epiphany, vision and hallucination. I wrote a lot of the lyrics in a psych ward, and then spent the following months fleshing out the music in Pt Lonsdale. The album is both a record of an intense experience and a document of the recovery from it.
