Captain Number 1 was started as a side project by Tim Denson formerly of Starlite Motel (prominent south florida indie rockers). The outfit consists of Tim and a revolving group of members, many from the Just Me Records family. Focusing more on the song than production, Captain Number 1 pulls from the 60's folk revival and the indie rock/Lo-fi movement of the 90's and today, with a dash of pop and something different.Betraying his obvious delight in the enchanting possibilities of low-tech recording devices, Seamonster's ring-ding-jangle-'n-tap bedchamber pop pieces give off some whiff of mellower, mid-90s Apples in Stereo tracks. Yet the real archetypes for Seamonster are Neutral Milk Hotel's early, hissy recordings, though Seamonster focuses on the stuff that really made NMH so good in the first place.
