Instrumental rock group Sey Lui make music you could either fall asleep to or break plates to in some extreme fit of energetic anxiety. They joined Detroit Today before their show at the Contemporary Art Institute of Detroit as part of the Sonic Lullaby Fest.
Sey Lui is-
Alex LaFrenz - guitars, programming
Noah Eikhoff - bass, keys
Matt Matoon - drums, percussion
From their bio-
"We were formed in the early summer of 2005, based on a mutual
fondness for loose, dynamic, instrumental and improvisationl music; with
minimalism and repetition as a starting point. Subsequently, we tend
to be categorized with the usual instrumental rock/ambient/experimental
set, though we are more closely akin to an amalgamation of three
separate musical personalities with influences more firmly
rooted in jazz, prog, noise, classical (and 90's era rock. The songs are closer to classical concepts with movements as opposed to the
verse/chorus theme.
When it comes down
to it, we basically write music that we enjoy playing and would enjoy
listening to ourselves."
