Seam

The Pace is Glacial (Touch & Go)
by Jon Sarre

True story: I was scrubbin’ out my toilet bowl first time I put this record on. The instructions on the plastic container of blue winto-green cleansing fluid directed me to “squirt 4 oz. on bowl surface and let soak for 10 minutes.” I did that and went back in my living room and listened to Seam‘s new batch of moodily introspective, heartfelt, suffering-artist indie pop. Man, I couldn’t wait for those ten minutes to be up! I was so happy to be doin’ somethin’ other than listenin’ to singer/guitarguy Sooyoung Park’s my-crown-of-thorns-are-a-prickin’-my-heart-on-my-sleeve drivel, I brushed my toilet bowl to a glossy shine. Then I started bleaching the sink.
