Following in the footsteps of Death Cab For Cutie, Baltimore's The Seldon Plan are another band to emerge from the emo scene with a potential to win over a mature audience. Like their contemporaries, their music is complex in structure yet melodic. Most of their self-titled debut ticks the right boxes from keening vocals ('Top Left Corner') to angular chord changes (the title track) to doleful, low-slung guitars ('Holding Patterns Are Slow') and on 'New Instant' they fuse all those elements together with a deceptively airy, carefree vocal and achieve an outstanding performance. This ranks as a great start for these newcomers and it wouldn't be too surprising to hear them on an episode of 'The OC' in the near future.
