Boo Seeka
Band Australia Formed 2015
Boo Seeka formed in 2015 in Australia, Australia. Boo Seeka has 2 chart appearances on 2 radio countdowns from 1 station on RockLists, spanning 2015–2017. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Deception Bay”, which appears on 1 list with a best position of #50. The station that charted Boo Seeka most often is Triple J (Australia (national)), with 2 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2015.
Boo Seeka took shape in Sydney in 2015 around Ben "Boo" Gumbleton, a singer and guitarist with a taste for electropop, with Sam Croft alongside him from the start. The debut single, "Kingdom Leader", landed that January, and the year kept moving fast: a cover of MØ's "Pilgrim" made the Like a Version compilation, and the J Awards nominated them for Unearthed Artist of the Year. They name Massive Attack, Mayer Hawthorne and Cody Chesnutt as touchstones, and you can hear that soul-leaning, after-dark pulse in the grooves.
"Deception Bay" is the song that found its crowd, a warm, rolling slow-burn of a single that ranked number 50 in Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2015. The debut album, Never Too Soon, followed on 4 August 2017 and climbed to number 8 on the ARIA chart, with "Does This Last" among its standouts.
Croft stepped away in 2018 and Michael May came in, but that pairing ended in June 2021 over what Gumbleton called fundamental differences, and Boo Seeka became his solo project. The second album, Between the Head & the Heart, arrived in June 2022, with a third announced in October 2023.
