Album Notes

"From the very first listen, I could tell that the music came from the heart. They use production ethics that hark back to the great soul bands of the 70's with out sounding retro."
Stuart Matthewman - SADE/ Sweetback

"The aural equivalent of a well spent hour at the spa..."
Sonia Murray - The Atlanta Journal Constitution


In your quest for universal music there is a sound that transcends time. At that legendary crossroad intersecting the past, present and future you will find the music your soul has been searching for. Standing out from the tepid background of modern music, as the pop genre continues to break into new territory, the sound of seek crosses the lines of traditional music genres conforming to only one niche: good music.

seek fuses classic sounds with the latest cutting-edge musical nuances. The refreshingly thought-provoking lyrics woven through soulful grooves complete a sound that is elegant in its composition, inspirational in its delivery, and like nothing you've ever heard. These original songs will simultaneously move your feet and stir your soul.

In 1999 seek released their debut album, "Venus and Mars," which was independently produced and distributed by their hometown venue Yin Yang Music Café (also the home of Grammy nominated recording artist India.Aire). They sold close to 7500 copies of their CD, receiving great reviews and picking up fans along the way.

For the past year seek has released 12" singles on Giant Step Records, featuring remixes by noted producers Ron Trent, Kemeticjust, and Stuart Matthewman (of Sade). Although these soul-inspiring songs were produced for the dance floor, they provided a glimpse into the musical journey of seek while holding true to their songwriting craft and eclectic rhythms.
Now seek steps forth with their sophomore effort, "Surrender." It is the expression of their musical evolution, incorporating all of their 12" singles as well as other classic-sounding progressive grooves, evoking many elements of the soulful '70s with a 21st century twist.

They hold true to their raw independent style of recording and productions, having completely recorded the album in a converted garage that doubles as their rehearsal space. During the process, many events, both personal and global, provided the inspirational backdrop for the material, an eclectic mix of songs that Lisa Terry (lead singer/lyricist) calls "danceable lullabies." "The songs are mainly about realizing your destiny and surrendering to it, whether it's life, love, or your search for something to believe in," says Lisa.

Freddy Luster (producer/guitarist) adds, "Musically we just tried to stay true to ourselves and our influences which are pretty diverse, from Sade to the Isley Brothers, from Carole King to Everything But the Girl, from Seal to Jamiroquai. What I like about those artists is that they all have a unique ability to weave through musical genres and stand alone in their own box. I think music like that makes great impact on the musical landscape."

The new album has been licensed in the US by Soulestial Elements, a new independent label backed by Rolling Out magazine, distributed by BTDIndies. Also forthcoming, is the release of "Surrender" in Japan by Village Again. They are awaiting other licensing opportunities in other territories throughout the world.

Come stand at that legendary crossroad between the music of yesterday, today and tomorrow as all roads converge at a single point in time. Experience seek, and find the music your soul has been searching for.
