In just over 15 minutes, Dave manages to deliver four soundfully winding tracks, where he can turn the experiments into tracks that end up generating various sensations and can have diverse functions, such as being themes of films, series, games and documentaries, even as something ambient.

“Play Artful” is a reinvention of sound and memory, a work that transforms forgotten cassette fragments into a vibrant sonic canvas where experimentation meets playfulness. By blending lo-fi electronica, dreamy synth textures, IDM-inspired rhythms, and expressive jazz guitar, The Double Headed Seagulls craft a listening experience that feels at once nostalgic and refreshingly new.

All in all, “Play Artful” by The Double Headed Seagulls — a livening breath of fresh air that isn’t afraid to push the boundaries — heck, *to redefine them entirely*. The epitome of self-expression, this album is more than worth a listen.

In a music landscape often saturated with repetition, *Play Artful* stands out as adventurous yet approachable. It’s a sonic playground that rewards careful listening while still encouraging you to simply let go and enjoy the ride.

'Play Artful' thrives on contrast, where lo-fi electronics sit alongside lush, ambient washes, while melodic improvisation dances atop propulsive rhythms. Each song feels meticulously handcrafted, yet retains the spontaneous energy of discovery, as if he is uncovering new possibilities with every layer.

It sounds like music boxes attained intelligence and learned to communicate with each other via electrical wires in on the process of communication in a collective, harmonious process in which every entity involved contributes to a dynamic sound that reflects a joyful spirit sustained for the track’s two minute and thirty-seven seconds run time.

“The feeling [Play Artful gives] is that of finding an old chest in the attic and discovering that the toys stored inside still work, but now speak a more complex and enchanting language.”

“It’s an imaginative, cathartic record, one that requires a certain amount of effort and commitment from the listener. At times melancholic, at times calming, otherwise bittersweet: The Double Headed Seagulls has mastered the art of communicating through aural fragments and liminal soundscapes.”

“Influences from Brian Eno, Four Tet, Pat Metheny, and Radiohead subtly seep through, but the result feels distinctively their own — both experimental and inviting. “

Director Maurice Moore challenged composer Dave Wirth to create a score for Finding Solace that could stand alone from the film. Drawing from America's cinematic legacy, Wirth crafted a 65-minute orchestral soundtrack blending drama and horror, using piano and guitar to evoke tension and intensity, achieving a remarkable feat in independent cinema.

Play Artful by The Double Headed Seagulls invites listeners on a journey through vibrant lo-fi electronica and jazz guitar chords, showcasing dreamy synths and an energetic playfulness.
