Pre-Order: Seam - Headsparks [CD]

In the wake of Bitch Magnet and current of Superchunk, Sooyoung Park and Mac McCaughan formed a raw version of Seam in the summer of '91. With bassist Lexi Mitchell, the trio banged out an album and two singles worth of shambolic dream pop in the sweltering Chapel Hill heat. Fourteen songs of talk-whispered vocals, sloshing guitar solos, scattered snare rolls, Velocity Girl's Sarah Shannon, and the original version of Codeine's slowcore classic "New Year's," on compact disc for the first time since 1992.
