Look Alive 4 Panel CD Digipack

“A late-night drive to nowhere, built on journeying melodies and throttling atmosphere. Unwed Sailor's shoegazing, new wave escapism is very deeply felt right now.”
-NPR

“Look Alive comes from a place of strength and inspiration. Its seven songs are about emerging from hardship, not unscathed, but rather, with newfound conviction in who you are."

"Look Alive contains some obvious touchstones: fluid basslines that recall New Order, moody synths evoking The Cure and Talk Talk, and raucous shoegaze textures à la Swervedriver. But there are moments that took even Ford by surprise: a hook or riff that evokes Ned’s Atomic Dustbin or Killing Joke"

Includes unlimited streaming of Look Alive via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

I've been listening to The Appleseed Cast for close to 20 years and this whole album just connected with me on a fundamental level in a similar way that the 1st time I listened to Mare Vitalis did when I was a teenager. From start to finish I have enjoyed this album and it lives in my daily playlist in its entirety. eodguydave
