The refrain “I can’t believe this is the end” circles in your head as you search for closure. ‘A Little While More’ gently simmers before the exploding in the most exhilarating of ways, with SEIL LIEN’s voice leaving you captivated and bewildered in equal measure.Īs the shortest track on the album ‘Chase the Devil’ feels like a late night diary entry or the last letter between former lovers. We’ve been following her progress closely ever since and it’s great to see this track find it’s natural home alongside a wider body of work.

It’s just over two years to the day since SEIL LIEN was catapulted to our attention when her track ‘A Little While More’ (Track 2 on the album) was featured as part of a series of Boots adverts about Inspirational Women. It’s a compelling start that sets the tone and atmosphere for the what’s to come. The album opener “Nothing Feels Like Loving You” combines devastating intensity with a near child like vulnerability and the kind of glass shattering vocals not witnessed since Beth Gibbons and Portishead played Roseland NYC back in 1998. Shatter delivers uncompromising artistry from start to finish. It’s been 3 years in the making and it’s been worth the wait. This eight song album comes with a sound distilled from prolonged periods of improvisation and experimentation. Shatter is the debut album from SEIL LIEN, (pronounced Seal lee in) the Chinese name of Scottish songwriter Marie Claire Lee.
