The Birdwatcher’s Guide to Atrocity
with ten ways to survive until tomorrow
out 21 August, 2020, on Artoffact Records
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.
