SEEMING + Post-Punk


SEEMING: Post-Punk.com premieres "Reality Is Afraid" music video

Post-Punk.com has premiered the music video for Seeming's new track, "Reality is Afraid.

The song appears on Seeming's upcoming, third album, The Birdwatcher's Guide to Atrocity, out August 21st on Artoffact Records.



"Reality is shaking / Reality is wringing its hands / 'Cause we've run beyond its radius / Reality's afraid of us," sings Seeming mastermind Alex Reed on "Reality Is Afraid." The song, like many of the songs on the new album, addresses humankind's trajectory toward social, political, and environmental collapse. Reed has stated: "The album 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." The video shows Reed in the woods near his home of Ithaca, New York.

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 upcoming 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.
