In an era of safe playlists, Hellbent Daydream stands as a defiant reminder that the most compelling music often emerges from friction and paradox. One finishes the recording slightly disoriented, thoroughly engaged, and eager to return, curious whether the dream will resolve into clarity on a second listen or dissolve further into beautiful uncertainty.

Seabrook's compositions hold the properties of a suite or a soundtrack, either to a movie or a theatrical work, impatiently jolting from one theme to another, vivid in the listener's eye

That commitment to amalgamation persists on Hellbent Daydream, whose seven tracks include rustic folk moves, strident chamber music passages, shimmering electronic textures and densely packed flurries of guitar heroism.
