 (2 Customer Reviews)
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 ... Full Descriptionbeat 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..."

Seamonsters album
 $11.49    
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 string, piano, or trumpet flourish to accent the hushed power of their songs. The overall effect is one of bedroom introspection, well suited to their nostalgic, inward-looking lyrics.

The opening "Chivalry" is a barroom tune that sounds part Celtic, part Texan, with a floating fiddle melody courtesy of Susie Honeyman. "Trouble Down South," a politically pointed song that uses spoken narrative against a backdrop of fiddle, haunting vocals, and reggae rhythms, gives way to the amped-up "Hard to Be Human Again" and the heavy, sleepy "Darkness and Doubt." The surreal story-song "Psycho Cupid," the insistent pulse of "Country," and the sad, drunken "Last Dance" make good on the Mekons' promise to mix it up, before they wrap the package with a cover of Hank Williams's "Lost Highway." FEAR AND WHISKEY is a punk classic, one that surprises, charms, and overflows with rootsy, rebellious energy.
Remastered by Mekons. First time on CD in it's original form. Quarterstick Records.
FEAR AND WHISKEY was the album that signaled the second coming of the Mekons. Six years after their 1979 debut, the band overhauled their well-honed post-punk ...

Seamonsters songs
$11.75 
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, the Akron duo arrived with swagger on these 13 tracks. Tackling covers traditional (like Sleepy John Estes's ...

EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME benefits from strong songwriting, and the winding, yearning tenor of Bridwell, while the synthesis of introspective folky intimacy, immediately accessible melodies, and button-pushing rock elements is very appealing. Moreover, the album is beautifully produced, with layers of shimmering ...
