Magical!
Take a little Stereolab, a dash of The Strokes, and a healthy dose of ’60s Tropicália simmered with the subdued sensibilities of Deerhunter, and you have the sonic gumbo that is Rare Seed. Ethereal soundscapes, shifting times and tempos, pulsating rhythms, and melodic hooks are just some of what you can expect to hear in one of our songs. Rare Seed features rhythm and lead guitars, bass, drums, keyboard and dual vocalists.
