Conceived and formed in Louisville,Ky in early 2000, Seluah immediately surfaced as a provocative departure from the city’s well regarded independent music scene. Drawn from trip hop, post rock, dub and classic rock influences, Seluah creates innovative music that is beautiful and accessible; ambient yet substantial. The bands’ sound has been favorably described as melding elements of Massive Attack, Portishead, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, The Ventures and Radiohead. Seluah consists of four respected touring musicians: Guitarists Andrew Killmeier (Boom Bip) and Matt Johnson (Boom Bip, People Noise), bassist Andrew Peace and Edward Grimes (Rachel’s) on vocals and drums.

Seluah’s self titled EP has earned enthusiastic press, including raves such as “One of the best records to ever come out of Louisville” (Louisville Eccentric Observer), “A psych dub masterpiece” (Ear X-tacy) and “In a just world this album would go down in History.... recognizable only by those who hear it, having no equal or nothing with which to compare.” (D.W. Box) Upon the release of the EP, the band was featured on the cover of Louisville Music News and Jeffrey Lee Puckett of The Courier Journal gave the record a glowing review, with his only criticism being the short running time. The EP has remained on the very short list of CD Baby Editors Picks on both of its listed genres (trance and dub) for over seven years. The track Bled was one of the top 20 songs of all time on Garage Band in the electronic section. Seluah’s music was featured in the Stu Pollard film Keep Your Distance in 2004. After the release, it was promoted for national distribution by Touch and Go Records. Seluah has toured with Rachel’s and The Shipping News and has shared the bill with Yo La Tengo, Maserati, Mono, Macha, VHS or Beta, The Frames and Matt Pond PA. After a 6 year hiatus, Seluah came back in the Fall of 2010 and began work on the blistering Full Length Red Parole, due out in Fall 2011.
