SEKI With His Spectacular Track “Play It Cool”

Introducing an outstanding artist known as SEKI taking influences from Tears for Fears, The 1975, and The Strokes, SEKI creates a shoegaze-inflected indie pop sound, rich with layered harmonies and instantly-memorable melodies. Although a newcomer to the Thai music scene, SEKI nonetheless has deeply embedded roots in Thai musical history. His mother was a guitarist for Bird Thongchai (‘Phi Bird’), one of the most successful singers in Thailand’s history, having sold over 25 million albums. However, it was SEKI’s father who was perhaps the biggest influence on his taste in music, regularly taking him to the local flea market to scour for second-hand cassettes. It was in listening to these cassettes on the ride home that SEKI began to develop his love for singing, influenced by the falsetto vocals and new wave synth sounds of artists like the Bee Gees, Tears for Fears, and The Psychedelic Furs. SEKI channels these retro influences into a simple yet meticulously crafted sound, developing sparse arrangements into an indie-cinematic sound where each musical part plays its own distinctive role, overlaid with lushly-layered harmonies. Taking his 80s writing influences, SEKI pairs them with the contemporary production styles of The 1975, The Strokes, and Hippo Campus to carve out a shoegaze-inflected sound sharply juxtaposed with instantaneous pop melodies and catchy synth hooks. Following the release of his newest single “Play It Cool,” he projects a fascinating sound that will surely intrigue your attention.
