Third album from the popular art-pop project, fronted by S. Alex Reed, author of a 33 1/3 book as well as Assimilate: A Critical History of Industrial Music.
Menacing but vulnerable. Furious but intimate. Seeming present their third LP, the followup to 2017's SOL: A Self-Banishment Ritual (itself crowned album of the year by tastemakers IDieYouDie and A Model of Control). 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, assisted by Aaron Fuleki. They had previously been in the band ThouShaltNot.
