Possibly the most heart-felt and painful albums of the year, Seabound’s
Double-Crosser is a violent psychological storm of emotions all tied into the
themes of deceit and self-deception. Imagine every emotion one is faced with
when they find out someone they love has decimated their trust. Love, anger,
depression, blame and remorse pull the listener though the deepest recesses of
the human psyche as they begin to question the very truth they were presented.
Frank Spinath from Seabound notes “…the more you see through the facades, the
more life's contradictions and irreconcilable needs will haunt you. If you lack
the naïveté to find consolation in easy dogmatic rules, you will have to face
the unsolvable sooner or later.” Becoming a more confident singer on this album,
Frank’s vocals are accentuated by Seabound’s signature sounds and arrangements.
The varying compositions facilitate a balance with the lyrics to emphasize the
feelings throughout the songs. From the fast paced “Traitor” where anger and
frustration prevail to slower paced “Sapphire” where hope is present,
Double-Crosser explores the temptations that we are faced with everyday and how
they affect the people dearest to you. Released on Metropolis and available
November 7th, 2006.
