A cool, blue Canadian breeze will soon blow in from the north in the form of an indie band called Seoul. The trio from Montreal play atmospheric and somewhat drowsy sounds. Three tracks, "Stay With Us," "The Line" and "How We Feel" have been sequentially released over the past six months as teasers of their debut LP, I Became a Shade, which is due out on June 9. If those songs are accurate indicators of what is to come, the album will span the spectrum from sensual R&B with breathy vocals to dreamy, melodic indie-pop (at about half the pace of a mainstream pop song). The music video for "Stay With Us" is spare, detail-oriented and slow; even the scene in a nightclub is in slow motion, which parallels the band's tracks, which could have passed for dance music had they not been beautifully slowed down. The flowing, glossy indie music of Ballet School—currently based in Berlin, but all three in the trio are expatriates from Ireland, Brazil and England, respectively—has been captured on their first full-length album titled The Dew Lasts an Hour. The album is ethereal and ambient, with a bit of sparkly pop showing up in some tracks. The band has been together since 2011, but this release is their first LP, following up 2014's similarly experimental and dreamy EP, Boys Again. (Tiffany Frandsen)
