    This is a fun record, one whose effusiveness only reveals itself slowly, with repeat listens opening up more and more emotional layers hovering beneath its sleepy atmosphere.

    Seabed is a luscious album that implores you to dive into the gorgeous depths of its sound and atmosphere.

    A fine album of rich, smooth, sunset-songs.

    It may have taken Vondelpark awhile to hone their craft into an album, but the payoff is one of the more promising debuts of 2013.

    Rainsbury, Bailey, and Law showed long ago that they could draw a crowd with a bold gesture, but Seabed's appeal after multiple listens is in its details.

    Occasionally distant, the restrained urgency of Dracula and soulful vocals of Closer ripple with an enticing warmth. [May 2013, p.113]

    Seabed is the worst of all worlds, all fluff without substance and repetition without meaning.
