Description
A self-titled five-track cassette EP by the American alternative rock band Sight Unseen (formerly known as ASight Unseen) was independently released in 1994.
Sight Unseen features Jason Lohrke on vocals, Niels Nielsen on guitar, John Oliveira om bass, and Frank Lenz on drums. (Only Lohrke and Oliveira remain from the original lineup of ASight Unseen.)
Wait – did I spell that name wrong? Isn’t it supposed to be “Asight Unseen”? Well, it was. But this demo finds the bass player and singer from Asight Unseen dropping the “A” and going for a slightly different sound. They are still keeping their connections to that “A” intact – the inside of the tape has both Circus of Shame and Hollywood Proverbs listed for sale. I’m not really sure if mellow is the right word to describe the sound here – its more atmospheric and ethereal. Kind of reminds me of how Raspberry Jam and the Prayer Chain both changed their sound for Oceanic and Mercury. The guitars seem to be more acoustic-based than on the Asight Unseen albums. But I kind of dig the groove they hit with this demo. After this, it seems that Jason and John changed guitarists and drummers and re-named themselves Bionic Jodi.
