Saturday 3rd May

Drogheda Arts Festival 2025 in association with ‘thirtythree-45’ is thrilled to announce a one off exclusive performance by Warp record stalwarts ‘Seefeel’ , marking their highly anticipated live return following on from their first new album in 13 years, ‘ Everything Squared’. Pioneers of fusing guitar-based shoegaze with electronic minimalism,  hypnotic loops and pulsing basslines, this unique A/V show promises to be a must-see. With a fully seated venue and limited tickets available, this is an experience not to be missed.

For Fans of WARP records, shoegaze, electronica, IDM, trip-hop and ambient.

Uncut – "Perfectly positioned at the juncture of shoegaze, ambient and electronica."

Formed in the early ‘90s, Seefeel became one of the most innovative and genre-defying acts of their time, blending elements of shoegaze, ambient, IDM, dub, and experimental music. Signed to the iconic Warp label in 1994, Seefeel quickly made their mark with their groundbreaking debut Quique.. Their second album, Succour (1995), continued this experimental evolution, delving into more rhythmic, industrial textures, while their 1996 mini-album Ch-Vox on Rephlex further explored new sonic territories. Throughout the years, the band developed deep creative partnerships, including a close collaboration with the Cocteau Twins, who invited Seefeel to tour with them and work in their studio. After a long hiatus in 1997, Seefeel returned in 2011 with a self-titled album, followed by a retrospective anthology of their early work in 2021, further cementing their legacy.

Everything Squared, their first new music since 2011, marks a fresh chapter for the band. This 6-track mini-album offers a contemporary evolution of their signature sound, blending ambient, dub, and electronic textures. Primarily composed by founding members Mark Clifford and Sarah Peacock, with bass contributions from Shigeru Ishihara, Everything Squared pushes their sound into new, exciting directions. The album was mastered by Stefan Betke (Pole) and features artwork by the iconic Designers Republic.

 "Seefeel twisted conventional rock instrumentation into increasingly arcane shapes, forging a singular fusion of ambient, techno, and dub that still inhabits a class of its own, 25 years later." Pitchfork
