U.K. reissue features eight B-sides from three singles and new sleeve notes.

SEAMONSTERS begins quietly enough with "Dalliance," as Wedding Present frontman David Gedge sings about a broken relationship in a near-whisper, over a light beat and chiming guitars. Then, almost three minutes into the song, distortion pedals are stomped on and an earthshaking torrent of noise is unleashed. This striking opener embodies both the record and the fierce Weddoes sound, marked by driving rhythms, furious six-string strums, and Gedge's signature flat vocals and lovelorn lyrics. One of the UK band's most formidable and consistent outings, SEAMONSTERS, fittingly produced by studio guru Steve Albini, includes fan favorites such as "Dare" (which ends in a swirling My Bloody Valentine-like squall), "Suck," the highly percussive "Corduroy," and the wonderfully bitter "Heather." Along with the first installment of the group's singles comp, HIT PARADE, this album is the high point of the Wedding Present's catalogue, and as an introduction to the utterly distinctive Weddoes aesthetic, there's no better disc than this one.

Originally released in 1991 now includes the 8 B-sides from three singles and new sleevenotes. Standard jewelcase in a slipcase.Spin (4/92, p.95) - Highly Recommended - "...SEAMONSTERS is a pirhana...punk for pop people..."
Q (9/01, p.139) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Hints at the greater delicacy and charm Gedge was to later realize in his Cinerama project..."
Alternative Press (7/95, p.80) - Ranked #18 in AP's list of the `Top 99 Of '85-'95' - "...This [is] no mere collection of dainty vague songs with screens of white noise a la the Jesus And Mary Chain. This [is] true pop with great ripping blasts. Power chords boldly interjected in startlingly angular ways right into the heart of agitated melodies..."

5 stars Deep for the deep
At first a wall of sound - but then giving way to an album that has so many layers of sound that you can get lost in it listen after listen. Mercurially recorded by Albini it is pop, rock, punk, and a heartfelt love (lost) album all in one. The boy Gedge was so emotionally drained after this one he never quite got it together the all in the same place at the same time again. A 'tour de force' and other superlatives apply here.

The Cinderella-esque climb from lo-fi indie cult artist to Grammy nominee/major label darling must have been a perilous one for Smith, who makes the leap to the big time here after three well-regarded albums on small labels. He's lost none of his bite, though. The production values on XO may be slightly higher, but Smith's vision remains undiluted. The production, centered around acoustic guitar augmented by keyboards and lush vocal harmonies, recalls pop icons like the Beach Boys (especially on the closing acapella cut), Beatles and Big Star, but this is no sunny Cali-pop album. Leavening the instrumental brightness are Smith's Nick Drake-ish whisper and his thoroughly downcast lyrics, which cast him squarely in the Mark Eitzel/Smog camp of unrelenting ...

On his first record since his Oscar nomination courtesy director Gus Van Zandt's use of his music in the film "Good Will Hunting," Elliott Smith returns with another album's worth of gorgeous misery. Like Nick Drake before him, Smith has the ability to conjure beautifully poignant pathos, wrapping it in an elaborately arranged package worthy of a George Martin or Brian Wilson. Working with Beck/Foo Fighters producer Rob Schnapf, Smith uses Abbey Road Studios for some of these sessions, dressing up his tortured ...

This Montreal ensemble's fiery debut is marked by surging guitars, soulful strings, driving drums, brilliant bass lines, and the quavering vocals of married couple Win Butler and Regine Chassagne. The group's song structures careen through a vast territory of musical and personal history, with lyrics warm with memories of childhood neighborhoods and deceased loved ones, resulting in an alternating current of joy and sadness. Favorably compared to the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, and Broken Social Scene, the Arcade Fire's sound seems to come from a lifetime of listening to the Cure, Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, and many others--even a dose of soul gets worked into these grand anthems. Chassagne delivers ...

Elliott Smith's death in 2003 left a cavernous hole in the world of popular music. Tender, intimate, and painfully honest, the songs in Smith's catalogue capture the fragility of human existence with rare, breathtaking beauty. On his first posthumous release, Smith reaffirms his status as an extraordinarily gifted artist, giving fans yet another reason to mourn his tragic loss. Conceived as an ambitious double album, FROM A BASEMENT ON THE HILL was ultimately narrowed down to 15 tracks ...
