Born in upstate New York, U.S. Seth Haley but now based out of Princeton, New Jersey, U.S. the musician bought himself a pair or turntables in 2000, which began his musical experimentation. Haley began with spinning drum and bass, then decided to move on to something more melodic, and after discovering Boards of Canada was inspired to creative something downtempo.
After settling with the name Com Truise, after a number of other monikers, the musician released his debut EP “Cyanide Sisters” in 2010. The release was issued through the blog and digital distributer AM DISCS and exposed his signature 80’s sound, laden with synths, heavy bass and funk grooves, what Haley has described as synth-wave slow-motion funk. After signing with Ghostly International, the label rereleased “Cyanide Sisters” in 2011 and subsequently released the three track “Fairlight” in anticipation of his full length debut.
On top of releasing his own material Haley continues to issue a handful of remixes including Neon Indian’s “Sleep Paralysist”, Daft Punk’s “Encom Part 2”, Twin Shadow’s “Castles in the Snow”, and a remix of Kings of Leon’s “The End”.
Ghostly International released Haley’s full-length debut “Galactic Melt” in June 2011 and its follow-up “In Decay” in July 2012. “In Decay” was a download-only compilation album of previously unreleased material, followed a month later by his track “Chemical Legs” which he contributed Adult Swim Singles Program. In February 2014 Haley released the EP “Wave 1” which continued the same 80’s music production as his previous releases, grounded in sci-fi sounds and slow-building analogue textures.

Seth Haley is the mastermind behind Com Truise, putting out the glazed over polished melodies and beats that would make one want to get up and dance. Com Truise has a playful, lighthearted style to his music as might be expected from a person who decides to name himself after a spoonerism on Tom Cruise’s name. Com Truise’s music is layered with lush, vibrant synths and is driven by the deep pulsing rhythms of the drums and bass. His music is highly inspired by 1980’s dance music and it has the tendency to wash over the audience, cleansing them in the purity of wonderful sounds that are created. Although Seth Haley commonly performs solo, he has more recently been touring with a live drummer, which gives more of a punch to the live performances.
Going to a Com Truise show is like going to a party. Loud dance music is blasted through the speakers and bright lights flash rapidly on stage. There is a screen in the back with bright, colorful geometric patterns strobing on the screen. Everyone in the venue is joyfully dancing to the music having been infected by its contagious catchiness. The music that Com Truise produces is of the highest clarity, managing to create smooth analog sounds that give the highest pleasure to the mind.
It is not difficult to tell that Seth Haley was a former art director. He has the innovative vision to create a magnificent performance filled with exciting lighting and visuals, and most importantly, stunning music.

Com Truise blasted the beat deep in my bones. Again, Seth turned up the beats high and gave his dance ready fans something to move for. Opening up with my favorite song, Iwywaw, he ignighted the night setting the stage for the rest of his set. Standing close to the stage, I could feel the synthesizers infiltrate my extremeties and flow into my core. The sceen show behind Seth and his wave making buddy was well suited for the evenings atmosphere. It flashed images of retro looking graphics and words of passion. I will not forget this evening. Thank you Seth and thank you Song Kick for never letting miss this phenomenal show and many others.

OmG. BLOWN AwaY. He is so amazing live. ONE of the best shows I've ever been too. A must see. Small crowd with great people. Everytime I go see a Ghostly Records label band I am not disappointed. One of the true legends in the current Synth scene. His bass/beats and transitions are solid. And he is not afraid to play his old hits. Totally in touch with the crowd and knows the tracks you want to hear. I will defentially be seeing him again.

Excellent set. He did a great job of stitching together all of his best tracks.
Boulder Theater did a lousy job. The sub bass was way way too loud for all 3 acts. There was absolutely no reason to drive it to the point that it shook your chest, it just distorted the music and was annoying. I've been to many shows at this venue and they have never done this before I was shocked.

Com Truise himself was fine. Not amazing, but fine. I found a YouTube video of him explaining his tour setup more interesting than the actual show. The venue (Star Theater) was bad. Weird layout, too crowded, lots of drunk douche bags. Just a generally unpleasant place where it was difficult to find a place to stand that didn't have tons of foot traffic or wall-to-wall bodies.

Since I did not get a notification from songkick about the Com Truise event, I won't be able to leave a proper review, since I did not find out about it...Sorry fellas, next time send a notification before the event happens, so I can participate and then leave a review.

Short, too slow, problems with display, I guess Com Truise is not ready for Europe. 7/20. Ok, MeetFactory is small and a lot of people don t care about music.. But there is a minimum when you are doing a show and unfortunately the minimum was not reached.

Clark was meh... good intro, 1 or 2 good songs. the rest of them had no kicker...
Com Truise was ok... kinda wanted more "live synth" work, not just pure backing track. (maybe he did and i just have bad ears lol)

Tunes were sick but Truise only played 70 minutes of the 90 minutes advertised by the venue. Did not hear any tracks from his new album Iteration. Seemed to be mostly the old stuff and a few remixes.
