|Envelope BIO 
In late 2007 Devin Febbroriello and Michael Gamble took a much needed rest from the grind of NYC and escaped to an abandoned home in northern Connecticut. With no particular plan in mind the duo started to write and record music. What happened over those weeks formed the basis of what would one day become Seequill. Originally a duo, the band has formed and reformed several times before ultimately settling as a quartet with drummer Conor Elmes and bass player Spencer Zahn. In 2009 they released "Secret Passageways" a split LP with Michael Gamble's solo electronic project Scrambler on Layered Music. Adept at constructing intricate orchestrations that come across effortlessly rock and roll, Seequill is driven by a need for honest expression. The music for "Social Life" was written over a year when Febbroriello fell into a mystery illness that brought her to the brink of madness, and delivered her into a long dance with death. The title, rich with sarcasm, acknowledges all that must be shed when facing your true self. The music explores the many realms of the birth/death cycle. Unapologetic and direct, there is no easy way to transform.
>> ABOUT <<
Seequill is a Brooklyn duo full of sonic surprises. Ethereal atmoshpheres, crunchy distorted beats, sudden reggae-ish breaks, zappian guitar solos, weird samples and loops coexist in a unique hodgepodge of music influences. The combined sounds of Mike Gamble's deft guitar arrangements and loop wizardry with Devin Febbroriello's rhythmic compositions and ghostly vocals, create a colorful palette in which they nonchalantly mess with our minds and ears. - THE DELI MAGAZINE NYCThese people play a 1970's plastic wind up bird on stage like it's an instrument -I feel that says it all.- TINY TEMPLES BLOGHere's a strange monster of a record: jam-packed with incredibly dense tracks touching mystic genres and taking off to aetherial heights conjured up by multi-instrumentalist Mike Gamble, and singer Devin Febbroriello who pierces those passageways like she's a dangerous lioness guarding a secret fort next to Neverland. The Layered guys should really keep adding more artists to their roster and give RZA's infamous five-year-plan another shot. -LO DOWN MAGAZINE GERMANYWhereas many bands seem to be concerned with taking something pretty-sounding and making it dissonant, Seequill has an interesting way of taking dissonance and making it sound pretty. They’re adept at mixing different textures and sounds — big drums, electronic bits and blips, thoughtfully-played spaghetti western guitars, dreamy reverb vocals, string orchestration — as if assembling a collage made up of sounds they’ve torn apart and recomposed to their distinct liking along with whatever interesting outside fragments they’ve discovered in the process. There’s a certain sense of curiosity built in to much of the music, like they were constantly just trying things out as they went, that makes it all seem somewhat lighthearted even as there’s a sense of interesting murkiness that seems to come from the knowledge that maybe the chance they’re taking might not work out. But they try things out anyway and are better for it. - STEREOACTIVE NYC BLOGIt's always fun finding little hardly-discovered gems on the internet. But like most good things in life, sometimes you just have to wait for those gems to find you. The gem that I am currently talking about is the lovely band Seequill. Michael Gamble and Devin Febroriello, have banded together to create a group with an incredibly unique sound. The drum-heavy band comes complete with the occasional electronic blurb and the ghostly (aka: haunting) vocals of Febroriello, giving them the sound of modern day thrashers that had a meeting with a band from the '70's. -THE ODD NOTES BLOG
