Seeming's Alex Reed states: "'The Birdwatcher's Guide to Atrocity' is about the struggle to remain alive and sane while coping with Earth's insanity and cruelty. But it also brims with reminders of how to survive another day."

Menacing but vulnerable, furious but intimate, Seeming's post-industrial music is on the fringe of a new generation of heavy, dark, cerebral pop. The Birdwatcher's Guide to Atrocity bears traces of elder visionaries, from Peter Gabriel and Roger Waters, to Diamanda Galás and Trent Reznor, and places Seeming in the company of modern-day darlings like Drab Majesty, Blanck Mass, and The Knife.

With pounding drums, a dazzling palette of synth sounds, and Reed's voice exuding both confidence and humility, The Birdwatcher's Guide to Atrocity is another staunchly unique masterpiece – a breathtaking work from an artist who reinvents himself with every song.

The Birdwatcher's Guide to Atrocity was co-produced with renowned avant-garde percussionist Sarah Hennies and features a guest vocal by Bill Drummond of legendary, inscrutable, UK duo The KLF – Drummond's first recorded vocal appearance in two decades.


"Seeming’s new album, The Birdwatcher’s Guide to Atrocity, is a hymnal of hope and despair... Reed hones in on that delicate balance between pop and goth music throughout the album, akin to artists such as Trent Reznor, Diamanda Galás, Blanck Mass, or The Knife who can easily swing from intensity to vulnerability within the span of a song."
–Post-Punk

"Passionate vocals, pressing synths, and pounding drums... Reed sings with a heartfelt directness."
–The Big Takeover

"Like a dance remix of The Mountain Goats."
–Burning Ambulance

"Post-industrial visionary."
–V13
