Seances, the Milwaukee-based Post-Punk project from Eric Arsnow (of Fight Dice and Devils Teeth), is excited to share the second single ‘Weighted’ off the debut full-length ‘Power Is A Phantom’, out on Friday, February 28, 2025 via Triple Eye Industries. It is a new wave recording project conjuring charming post-punk anthems who lyrically found its inspiration from horror films, the supernatural, and by intense experiences of déjà vu – the inexplicable feeling of emotionally recognizing a place even though you’ve never been there before, in different parts of the world and the people those experiences are shared with. Singer and bassist, Eric Arsnow always wanted to write a new wave record after growing up inspired by bands like The Cure and Joy Division. In college, he was introduced to even more underappreciated bands like The Chameleons and Sad Lovers & Giants while working at a local record store. Fast forward to 2023, he caught The Chameleons first Milwaukee show and after the concert, songs started pouring out. Voice memos were made with a bass guitar that outlined a whole record in a couple hours. Eric reconnected with guitarist Jason Kartz who added guitar parts to the demo ‘Fade’ quickly turning it from a sketch to something inspired. Eric’s sons, Dexter and Paxton, helped sing back-up vocals on the track and friend Bex V added vocals to ‘Forgiveness’ and ‘Hours’ which added nice harmonies and flourishes to the songs.
