Sekiden were an Australian three-piece pop band formed in Brisbane, Queensland in 1998 by Simon Graydon on lead guitar and vocals, Mirko Vogel on drums and his sister Seja on keyboards and lead vocals. They released two studio albums, Junior Fiction (2003) and Sound Instincts (2006), before disbanding in the following year. Seja Vogel was a touring member of Regurgitator from 2007 to 2009 and then worked as a solo artist to issue two albums, We Have Secrets But Nobody Cares (2010) and All Our Wires (2013).
Sekiden's second EP, Love Songs for Robots (June 2001) with six tracks, was launched at The Healer, where Joanne Bell of BrisPop.com observed, "their sound was chock-full of implausibly crunchy guitar, fuzzy synth, odd machine noises, and elaborate but inobtrusive drumwork. So much push that there's no aural trigger to wonder about the absence of a bassplayer... Highlights for my money were Mirko's highly amusing drum solos, Simon's Leapingest Guitarist action, Seja & Mirko's keyboard duet." The EP peaked at No. 25 on the ARIA Alternative Singles Chart MediaSearch's Carmine Pascuzzi felt, "[its] a very intoxicating sound from an eclectic group from Brisbane who thrive on bringing something new from past synths exponents. This is their second release and it contains fuzzy pop gems... There's plenty to look forward to from this act. - Wikipedia
I found this album while sifting through cds at the Girrawheen Save the Children opshop. There was such a great variety of CDs there that day. A lot of rare local stuff, such as this. But also a lot of popular albums that you don't often find at opshops. I also picked up some Smashing Pumpkins, and Radiohead. The music on this EP was not what i was expecting at all based upon the cover art. Sure it has electronic elements. But i first thought it was going to be a soft synthy piece, with lots of modulated vocals. Happily surprised! it's really lovely in its own right.
