Seeming mastermind Alex Reed states: "'Someday Lily' is a song about losing someone you love most in the world, watching them move on and fly away, with blameless yearning."

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, Seeming’s third album, The Birdwatcher's Guide to Atrocity, is another staunchly unique masterpiece – a breathtaking work from an artist who reinvents himself with every song. Reed states: "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." Via Reed's brilliant lyrics, The Birdwatcher's Guide to Atrocity speaks with radically progressive fervor to social, political and environmental crises of today.

Urgent in tone, grandiose in style, 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.

As an author, Reed's works include the 400-page Assimilate: A Critical History of Industrial Music and a 33 1/3 book about They Might Be Giants' Flood. He is currently Associate Professor of Music at Ithaca College.
