Open Submissions 2012 Top Three: Seabright

Materializing in a bedroom somewhere in San Jose in 2005, Seabright is the electro-organic brainchild of Justin Morales. Two full-length albums in one year, and you’d probably expect something bland, but Seabright creates carefully constructed collages of drum loops, instrumentation, vocals, and a huge array of samples. Seabright tied for second in our SF Year End Poll’s Open Submissions with average rating of 7.66 (the other 2nd place went to Lauren O’Connell – see entry below).
