Sedulus – EP

I have had the pleasure of knowing of these guys for over 3 years and I remember seeing them for the first time at the Mother bar in East London. This was before the current scene was as it is now and these guys were shoved in amongst some badly placed bands on a badly thought out bill. But despite an awfully planned night (and venue) they absolutely blew me a way and helped me broaden my taste within the genre of Psychedelic stonier nonsense. I don’t mean the band are nonsense, I mean that this band are very hard to place and like all the bands in the London scene right now, the influences are clear but their sound is miles apart from any of their peers and this is the good thing about Sedulus.

The first track is mainly an instrumental and sounds so different from what they have produced as a band before, they have already proved they are great at creating a massive soundscape but this track builds up to massive drop and sets the mood tremendously well for what unfortunately is just a 2 track EP ! I have said it before and I will say it again WE WANT MORE!

It is the second track ‘Alfalfa’ of this offering that really does them proud sounding like a hybrid of Tool and Earthtone 9 the vocal effect and gradual build of this song creates a really haunting mood and shows a massive improvement in the bands song writing ability which hopefully will throw them some well deserved attention as after over 10 years of hard graft they really do deserve it!

Go and get this Beast of an EP for as much as you can afford, here at their Bandcamp. And go see them and Steak’s album launch this weekend at the Unicorn for FREE!!
