Idolator

If you're ever spur-of-the-moment apartment hunting out of state^*, I recommend stocking your travel bag with lithium and bourbon iPod with the complete works of British shoegaze/post-rock group Seefeel, who recorded several records worth of the '90s loveliest, dub-tinged noise-pop, all of it designed to relax the urge to kill right out of you. (Seefeel neophytes should start with the billowing half-rock/half-electronica of Quique, reissued last year by Too Pure, and the twinkling hiccups of the Aphex Twin remixes of "Time To Find Me," which I was pleasantly surprised to find on iTunes this a.m.) By the time of "Fracture," the band was signed to Warp Records, which skewed 1995's Succour further towards electronics, specifically the kind of spooky textures and crunchy rhythm tracks that then helped define the label thanks to releases like the Aphex Twin's I Care Because You Do. Fair warning: this very-of-its-time video may induce seizures/rave light show flashbacks/longings to be in a darkened basement half gone in a bean bag chair.

^* Which is thankfully now over with a minimum of bloodletting, meaning "normal" Idolatoring can resume on Monday.
