THE DELI MAGAZINE - SEASICK: CD OF THE MONTH
"Seasick...fronted by Persian/Latvian Jasmine Golestaneh
- manages quite incredibly to strike that magic balance
between dark intensity, creativity, sensuality and powerful
songwriting that made Jim Morrison and co.'s music so strangely
addictive. Jasmine's voice, with her subtle foreign accent and
attitude reminiscent of Nico, has the power to hypnotize and rave.
Geoffrey Lee's keyboards and Sam Levin on Drums create the
moody, impressionistic soundtrack that perfectly supports her tragic,
cosmic stories..."

THE VILLAGE VOICE
"When I first saw psychedelic punk-rock band Seasick play at Sin-é,
I was hypnotized. For once I thought I wouldn't mind being seasick and
nauseated, marooned with no Dramamine in the midst of such magnetic
maritime dizziness. It was such an explosive and intense experience that the
few times I managed to break the spell, I noticed everyone else in the audience...was equally haunted."
************************************************************************************
REDEFINE MAGAZINE
"There's no doubt this band is ridiculously talented and most likely put on a sick live show. Sea Sick might be a small three-piece band, but their uncommon, highly refined sound is an engaging one. Technically proficient and creatively challenging, this release is just wonderful."
************************************************************************************
ORGAN MAGAZINE
"A brooding dark quietly menacing acid-rock thing – this is very good indeed. Sea Sick cast alternative musical spells, fronted by the Nico-like Persian/Latvian voice of Jasmine Golestaneh, these seven tracks are really worthy of your investigation. Black cats and dark fires, radiant heat and hypnotic velvet undergrounds, divine dreams and moody twists. An alluring New York intensity, a Sonic Youth gone all broken spells and turning skies upside-down."
*****************************************************************************
CHIEF MAGAZINE
"Seasick is a lot like that one opium-induced dream you had:
hypnotic, sexy, and surreal."

ROMAN GAMES DIARY
Seasick: Cross Suzie Quattro with M.E.Smith
"Leader Jasmine Golestaneh is any rockers dream: She plays a mean dark guitar, carries a tune, dares to scream, knows how to move on stage and has the right
attitude, paired with the bit of neccessary arrogance to have command
of the audience. Think of Suzie Quattro crossed with The Falls M. E. Smith, throw in a bit
of Sonic Youth and you will feel seasick."
*********************************************************************************
EAR FARM:
"...they've got an entrancing intensity that's equal parts spooky and alluring..."
*********************************************************************************
"Sea Sick have already been embraced by local media for their hypnotic live shows…bewitching powers you simply have to hear to believe…Golestaneh's primal howl and overt sensuality are reminiscent of powerful female vocalists like Nico or PJ Harvey, but there's also something else…there's a mythical purpose to their music as if they were responding to a siren's calling."
