Simple Glances is the debut solo recording of Southeastern music veteran and Three Hour Tour vocalist David Seale.
A melodic blend of pop hooks, acoustic roots, and honest songwriting, the CD follows the 80's Southern power pop tradition of R.E.M., Tommy Keane, and the dB's.
The lyrical content explores the beauty of the ordinary and the intricacies of relationships while maintaining a sense of humor and humility. The hook-driven "It's Never Just a Kiss", and forceful guitar anthem "Cahaba", and the mystically Southern acoustic charm of "Pieces of Laughter" and "Kissing in the Cemetery" show both a diversity of influences but also a unified sound that reminds the listener that you don't have to have drum machines and loops to make music that rings true with real fans of rock.
Seale handles all songwriting, vocal, and guitar duties and is joined by Three Hour Tour bassist Tommy Terrell and session drummer and keyboardist Mark Terrell. The result is a textured blend of pop music the way it ought to sound - honest and listener-friendly
Simple Glances: a perfect mix of thoughtful song craft and irrisistible pop tuggings. Do your ears and heart a favor and check out this release.

Melodic poses trembling with power pop riffs...
author: Morgan
Simple Glances stays true to the form Southeastern fans have come to expect from the frontman of Three Hour Tour. It seems that Mr. Seale pulls from deeply personal experiences to express the grander themes outlined on this album. You'll need to buy the album to hear the most provocative, and evocative piece "Cahaba". From the opening stanza, we realize that Mr. Seale has much to say about the selfish posture humankind stakes on our fragile environment. Truly moving...

This cd is clever and extremely well done. The lyrics are powerful and straight from the heart. My personal favorite is Cahaba. Its descriptive words portrays the beauty of Birminghams finest river and I just love it. Truly a masterpiece!! Keep up the good work Seale. Cant wait for the next one.
