The World by Seeming
The world will not change itself, says Seeming's fourth album. Then it gets to business. Brass and strings blare a warning siren. Drums roll like thunder behind songs of ruin, hunger, and queer strains of love. Unflinchingly antifascist and soaringly tuneful in spite of itself, The World is a diary of collapse and defiance. Darkwave in a new, urgent key.
Standout singles include "A Failure of Imagination," "Grindshow," and the stomper "Zebra Tramples Horse Trainer." The record's postgothic pop is textured and insistent, less about escape than setting your own strange terms of survival.
Signed to Artoffact Records and based in Ithaca, NY, Seeming has built a reputation for rich songcraft and stark aesthetics. The band is fronted by Alex Reed, author of Assimilate: A Critical History of Industrial Music and ex-singer for ThouShaltNot.
