Review: "Beat Queen" by Sealife

Sealife surprises us during these turbulent times with a special new enigma of a release: a five-minute album, Beat Queen. With five individual tracks blending together in a magical visual presentation Sealife compartmentalizes their unique sound to provide five versions of their expression to deliver an awe-inspiring experience.

On the heels of their sophomore release this past February, Tan Camel, Sealife takes their sound and hovers on the crux between psych synth-pop, and juicy blues/funk. A smooth guitar-driven project full of sing-song riffs and melodic gems this project is easy to listen to over and over again. 

This album is packed full of sunshine-esque beach-guitar verge of acid-pop. The undulating melodies and persistent beats pull the emotions out of this project and inserts it right into the audience’s ears.

This album takes what Sealife did well in their freshman album, A Paler Shade of White, and their sophomore release, Tan Camel, and takes the best edges of their genre specialty and smash it into this mini-experience.

The journey that Brennan Moring has created as Sealife with Beat Queen is catchy, experimental, and smooth listening. 

Beat Queen is a 5-minute album. 5 songs, 5 stories, one minute each. Each song completely different in tone and mood from each other, accompanied by 5 interconnected music videos. A side-show of moods and emotions, and a compliment to short attention spans. Check out the new album, it only takes 5 minutes.
