Listen to the sand Listen to the ground There’s always gonna be another way out I am your shade in the morning You are my shadow at dusk And the music our footprints write is permanent More permanent than sound

[dukeofmercury]

Were we ever more than possible? Willing candle flame to rise and fall Pushing matchsticks with our teenage minds Somehow snap our fingers and kill the lights

Was it real? I've got to know Is this the glade I fear I made up years ago?

All the ghosts you felt so certain of Were they just a dream of childhood?

Have you woken, have you heard enough Or are we finally in the wildwood? Did I make the storm clouds fall away? Did I make her love me for a day? I was thirteen, oh I couldn't sleep Shimmering with impossibility

Was it real? I've got to go back to the start I've gotta find my heart, I've gotta know

The Birdwatcher’s Guide to Atrocity

FINALLY, FINALLY IT’S HERE: YOUR EXCUSE TO GO PERMANENTLY MAD.

SEEMING’S THIRD ALBUM IS RELEASED.  

BUY IT HERE.

STREAM IT HERE.

Menacing but vulnerable. Furious but intimate. Co-produced with renowned avant-garde percussionist Sarah Hennies, The Birdwatcher's Guide to Atrocity shines eerie light through the cracks of life under capitalism. In effortless accents of chamber pop, postpunk, and clattering synthpop, the album radiates political revolt, personal remembrance, and disarming compassion. Never before has Seeming's post-anthropocene futurity been more appropriate.  

Seeming is the project of Alex Reed, with Aaron Fuleki. They had previously been in the band ThouShaltNot. Alex is the author of a 33 1/3 book as well as Assimilate: A Critical History of Industrial Music.  The band has recorded with Merzbow, Sammus, Bill Drummond, Alphaville, and many others.

Seeming’s previous LPs are Madness & Extinction and SOL: A Self-Banishment Ritual.

Seeming - The Birdwatcher's Guide to Atrocity - new synthpop/industrial LP from a scholar of the genre (Alex Reed, author of Assimilate: A Critical History of Industrial Music)

Menacing but vulnerable. Furious but intimate. Co-produced with renowned avant-garde percussionist Sarah Hennies, The Birdwatcher's Guide to Atrocity shines eerie light through the cracks of life under capitalism. In effortless accents of chamber pop, postpunk, and clattering synthpop, the album radiates political revolt, personal remembrance, and disarming compassion. Never before has Seeming's post-anthropocene futurity been more appropriate. Highlights of the record's tightly-wound 37-minutes include: • the harrowing tempo experiment of opener "The Fates" • a lush plea against disappearance in "Remember to Breathe" • frantic pop singles in "Go Small" and "Someday Lily" • the industrial banger "End Studies" Seeming is the project of Alex Reed, with Aaron Fuleki. They had previously been in the band ThouShaltNot. Alex is the author of a 33 1/3 book as well as Assimilate: A Critical History of Industrial Music.

Music Review: Madness & Extinction

Music Review: Madness & Extinction

  Before I begin to talk about Madness & Extinction, the album just out by Seeming, I want to explain that I do not usually write music reviews. While I love review writing, I tend towards things that I’m more an “expert” in – generally poetry and sometimes the odd sex toy. That said, I have (full disclosure) been friends with and following the work of Alex Reed for about 10 years. His previous…

GO SMALL

I recorded the vocals for “Go Small” outdoors in the Pyrenees mountains one morning last summer. The birds you hear are real. It’s a song about clinging to a vital sliver of sanity by focusing only on what was right in front of me: a room, a garden, my own hands. The drums feature Sarah Hennies and Aaron Fuleki. Its video was filmed in lockdown, at a shack in the woods of Ithaca, NY. When the world is run by cruel and greedy men, it’s hard to “go small,” but that intimacy and focus really saved me. This is a song for recentering—all without forgetting your rage. It feels like life under quarantine. It feels like 2020.

Seeming (Alex Reed & Aaron Fuleki) - SOL: A Self-Banishment Ritual

It’s not surprising that Alex Reed, who wrote the book on industrial music (Assimilate: A Critical History of Industrial Music, Oxford University Press), draws upon the whole history of that genre for this remarkable album. That said, the feel is more like a prog rock concept album, a la Pink Floyd’s The Wall and Muse’s The Resistance, with elements of Bowie, Scott Walker, and Marc Almond sprinkled in liberally. Sounds bombastic? Yes indeed!

There’s also a companion album, Faceless:
