Seagull Kinevil - To Insanity And Beyond

Rating: 6

Fun is the order of the day on Seagull Kinevil’s new record. Blending a hugely eclectic scattering of ragbag musical influences this is some of the most up-beat rock music heard in ages. ‘Dream Rubble’ has a sunny disposition and a quirky Modest Mouse-esque banjo part whilst the spewed lyrical rhetoric and thunderous riffage of ‘You’re F**ked (But It’s Okay)’ is the riotous sound of Nirvana playing System Of A Down. There are missteps – ‘Black Lemons’ re-imagining of Ram Jam’s ‘Black Betty’ is, for example, too quirky for its own good but, on the whole, this most ambitious of records is a success.
