The opening track from Aqua Seafoam’s self-titled debut EP, “I Appear Fine” is a nice representation of the New York act’s creative and suspenseful sound. Ominous vocals and creaking guitars in the intro establish a rock sound fit for a haunted house, with the “come to bed,” chorus at the one-minute mark seeing some brighter melodic moments (even as the lyrics reflect a cautionary watchful eye). The final minute demonstrates some nice vocal range, with the final 30 seconds exuding a sort of punk-pop and alt-rock charisma that plays excellently in closing this inventive track out.
