From Magic Is Tragic:
“It isn’t hard to find someone who believes that My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless was one of the most forward-thinking, seminal releases of the 90s. However, I believe Seefeel belongs in that same conversation because they sort of took it to the next level that Keven Shields always promised, but hid away behind a supply of Twinkies. Seefeel spliced shoegaze, psych, dub and IDM into a hypnotic swirl that no one has really nailed since. Yes, Quique is a perfect album and the one most fans point to as the pinnacle of their short lifespan, but the Starethrough EP may be their most focused statement. It represents a weigh station between their focus of treated guitars and a shoegazing exterior to the altogether different, but inferior IDM/dub excursions that marred Succour, their finale on Rephlex Records.
They keep in relative simple here. Sarah Peacock’s cooing is sampled and used as a mind-numbing mantra that oozes a cold sexuality as the simple loops of chiming keys, strings and beats echo over and over again. It delivers on the ethereal promises that 4ad failed to deliver during these years and pointed a finger towards the endless musical possibilities that rock could offer when merged with newfangled technology.
It still sounds fresh today and will blow your boo-boo loose under the right circumstances.”
