Sea Moya at Hotel Vegas
Sea Moya is a German electronic Psychedelia band blending influences of Afro-Beat, Krautrock with 70s psychedelic sounds and contemporary electronic music. Passing their ideas through a chaotic system of wires, various instruments, effect pedals and analog recording gear into the computer, where it all gets mangled, sliced up and put back together again, it still sounds human.
After their first two EPs „Twins“ and „The Baltic States“ Sea Moya released their first LP. Recorded in a reclusive cabin in the Italian Alps, “Falmenta” was a result of total withdrawal from everyday life, the distraction of technology and any influence from outsiders. But not without a little help from befriended musicians, like Canadian artist Thanya Iyer.
Taking these songs on the road and summing up more than 200 shows through the US, Canada and Europe, opening for Durand Jones & The Indications, Foals, !!!, Klaus Johann Grobe or Maribou State as well as playing festivals like Pop Montreal, Reeperbahn Festival and SXSW the live performances have shaped and changed both music and Sea Moya - allowing them to freely evolve into something else. And now finally ready to connect again.
