The band formed in 1992 in London, England, when guitarist Mark Clifford and drummer Justin Fletcher met vocalist Sarah Peacock and bassist Darren Seymour. (Seymour was later briefly replaced by Robert Harrison.) They released their first EPs on the British independent label Too Pure in 1993. The band's music was stylistically situated at the intersection of dream pop/shoegaze and ambient techno/IDM. The band signed with experimental techno label Warp Records in 1994, after which point the group's music became less reliant on guitars and more electronica/dance oriented. "Basscadet (Seefeelmx by Seefeel)" appeared on Autechre's 1994 Basscadet EP. The band ceased making music as Seefeel in 1996. Its members have continued to release new material under different aliases.
In 1996, Scala was formed by Fletcher, Seymour and Peacock, along with Mark van Hoen. Peacock later contributed slide guitar, keys and backing vocals on the band January's albums, I Heard Myself In You and Motion Sickness . She currently plays with The Gemma Ray Ritual and The Mighty Shimmering Beasts.
Clifford has been releasing solo work since 1995 as Disjecta and Woodenspoon, and formed Sneakster with Sophie Hinkley in 1999. He has done remixes for the Cocteau Twins, among others.
In 2003, a remix of "Spangle" (from the Starethrough EP) by Autechre was released on the Polyfusia label. AFX has done two mixes of "Time To Find Me" (from the More Like Space EP); one of these mixes appeared on the Aphex Twin compilation, 26 Mixes for Cash.
