While it’s hard not to avoid Thom Yorke comparisions, Jonathan Seet is a Canadian that possesses quite a beautiful and unique voice. Arousal Disasters is his sophomore album, following his debut, Melatonin. This album has almost a cinematic feel to it and the production is lush and not overpowering. Sometimes when a singer is as strong as Seet, the producer tends to push it on top of the mix. On Arousal Disasters, it’s subdued a bit and blends in very nicely with the rest of the instrumentation. “Nasty Little Boys� is a great example of this technique. Female vocalist, Rachel Smith helps out on a few tracks and the best of these is “14 Candles� where she almost gets a Bjork sound to her voice happening. Give Arousal Disasters a couple of spins and you will fall in love with its ethereal qualities and its sheer beauty. Jonathan Seet has a diverse sound that changes with each song. With the right press on board, Seet should be able to become a very recognize figure in Canadian independent music.
