SEJA HERE

Is One I Know You Know Street Date August 4th 2023

The third album from Seja Vogel is both a leap in production and an ode to analogue and the beloved synthesizers she has spent the last 20 years in dedication to. Recorded expertly in her home studio in Brisbane, it is a dense col lection of squelchy synths, drum machines and computer bongos overlaid with her signature mel lifluous vocals The songs on Here is One I Know You Know reflect the broad influence of an artist deeply in love with her instrument and an expansive appreciation for the breadth of synthetic music history coupled with a true talent for sparkling pop songwriting Sometimes in juxtaposition to the luminous melodic vocals, the album’s production swims freely from swirling, celestial dreampop to pulsating psychedelic, krautrock funk, to dark, almost menacing 80’s inspired soundscapes, al l transmitted through the prism of Seja’s personal, often humorous and ultimately delightful songcraft

Here is One I Know You Know is permeated by an overarching warmth To this end Seja says she aimed to use mostly hardware and very little software and embraced both working and wonky gear to make something unique and beautiful ly flawed She recorded the album herself in her home studio obviously singing and playing various and numerous synths on each track as wel l as playing guitars, bass, omnichord, rhodes piano, drum machines, programming, sequencing.

The album welcomes a few close friends playing real acoustic instruments, including Jen Boyce (Bal l Park Music) on bass, Stel la Mozgawa (Warpaint) on percussion, Fred Armisen (SNL, Portlandia) on octobans, Georgia Mooney (Al l Our Exes Live in Texas) on backing vocals, George Browning (Velociraptor) on drums and percussion, Nicole Perry on congas, Chris Farrer (the Quickening) on guitar solos, Conrad Greenleaf (Richard in Your Mind) on bass and Danny Widdicombe (the Wilson Pickers) on pedal steel. Hotmagnets was production assistant and noise merchant

It takes a nimble and accomplished songwriter to span and weave together the range of genre and spectrum of sound tackled on this album On Here Is One I Know You Know Seja has conjured up a world class synth pop feast for the senses
