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.

Kings Of Convenience Quiet Is The New Loud CD  (2001)

Seamonsters
CD $11.99  3.8 stars Top 100 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Emerging in 2001 on a small wave of hype touting Norway as a new musical hotbed, QUIET IS THE NEW LOUD was startling in its earnestness, even to ears that had been softened by the likes of Belle & Sebastian. Where that Scottish band tempers its twee-ness with clever, winking wordplay, Erlend Oye and Eirik Glambek Boe are more akin to a latter-day Simon & Garfunkel or a couple of Nick Drakes who are lucky to have found each other. Disarmingly sensitive, poetic tracks such as "Parallel Lines" ("What's the immaterial substance that envelops two/That one perceives as hunger and the other as food") are sung by the duo in honeyed harmonies with a pleasantly laid-back delivery. Oye and Boe eschew drums on all but two tracks (upbeat highlights "Toxic Girl" and "Failure"), simply using layered guitars and the occasional ...

Seamonsters
CD $12.35  4.3 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
On paper, two Ohio white guys forming a drum-and-guitar blues duo seemed like the last thing the world needed in 2002. Fortunately, the guys revisiting the tried and true were guitarist-vocalist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney a.k.a. the Black Keys. With the former's blown-cone distortion and slinky riffs, and the latter's positively Bonham-esque way of inhabiting each change with a loose power, they smacked judgment out of one's brain before anyone could call it cliche. Taking cues from Fat Possum-centric blues legends like Junior Kimbrough and R.L. Burnside (both covered here on the first two tracks) and garage fetishists like Billy Childish and Jack White alike, ...

Seamonsters
CD $11.99  5 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
Initial pressings of OUR ENDLESS NUMBERED DAYS comes with a 4-song bonus CD. While Sam Beam's self-recorded first outing as Iron & Wine, THE CREEK DRANK THE CRADLE, features a hushed bedroom atmosphere, his second full-length album, OUR ENDLESS NUMBERED DAYS, invites listeners into a slightly larger living room. Here there's enough space for an outside producer (Brian Deck) and additional musicians (including Sam's sister Sara on harmony vocals). Though Beam's musical palette has broadened to occasionally include drums, bass, and various stringed instruments, the spare, Southern Gothic tone remains intact, thanks to his distinctive, whispered vocals and literate lyrics. The album opener, "On Your Wings," slowly builds from acoustic- and slide-guitar lines before fading back into its own dreamy oblivion. On "Cinder and Smoke," Beam quietly observes that "the farmhouse is ...
