Blessing 04:29
May God bless us in our sleep with rest in our dreams with vision in our waking with a calm mind in our soul with friendship of the Holy Spirit This night and everyone night from this day forth

Tousles 05:26
wind me up your mechanical playmate make noise in our quietly shouting whirl pluck out my heart put hinges on it so you can open me easily clamp me in i be your new material give me tousles and ruffles tilt mould repeat tilt mould repeat tilt mould I’m his happy sad cat arched and supine supple ming vase back long abnormal heights ducking into shapes you make of me If love worms it way into you heart just seek it out with its ever sucking roots Scrunch me tight and release relax slouching sloth like wash me with commands wash me with commands crouch back in petal like fetal pose let my trembling grope your insides for my world is falling apart yet I’m gladly liberated by this knowledge that I love you If love worms it way into your heart just seek it out with its ever sucking roots

Brave 02:55
only when i’m feeling brave will i venture into my cave of kept secrets hidden from all my daily dealings dutifully delve devious to dealings I dive only when I’m in control prize them to console my yearnings hidden from my habitual happenings dutifully i dive gratefully i grasp
5.
Traveller 03:17
Green green, on riverside grass dense dense on garden willows Sometime a singing girl now now a travellers wife traveller departed its hard she feels alone fair fair my girl upstairs bright bright she faces the light Sometime a singing girl now now a travellers wife traveller departed its hard she feels alone pretty pretty her red powdered face slender slender the white hand she extends to me Sometime a singing girl now now a travellers wife traveller departed bed hard to keep alone
6.
Water Flows 03:52
Divine Sabrina sing to me Of all your journeys to the sea And I will build an iron ship and From your moorings we will slip as we go sailing Your water flows like nurtures blood A potent force when its in flood and Turn the wheels of my machines Power all your waking dreams of avarice Your torrents flow North to South Down channels rapid to rivermouth Where will meet the rising tide And together we'll voyage side by side Over the oceans

Hitchhiker 04:09
I was a-slumber when I caught your eye Entered my world of REM luring desire Unconsciously conscious I lie Of brief encounters of your kind Fool that I am Let you inside All alone and taken for a ride Never before have I felt like this Deluding myself as we gently kiss Drawn to that smile led to believe Promises of more Saying you would leave Fool that I am Let you inside All alone and taken for a ride Slumbering soundly with eyes wide open Will you stay awhile and then be you gone Unwelcomely welcome you are Board this reverie my hitchhiker Fool that I am Let you inside Now alone and taken for a ride
9.
Look Away 04:33
10.
Well I see that I’ve been labouring Under a misapprehension Seaming seemingly laden Meaningless A chasing After the wind nothing gained Under the sun Yet when i survey all that my hands had done and to what extent I toiled and slaved To achieve Everything was Meaningless A changing After the wind Nothing gained Under the sun

about

Following her 2022 EP release on the revered electronic music label, Lo Recordings, Dust Gatherers is the critically acclaimed composer and vocalist, Seaming To’s second solo album release.

Dust Gatherers is a unique achievement, an album of unclassifiable, dazzling, magic-realist avant-pop. Drawing on and alluding to classical, jazz, blues, pop, and electronica, Dust Gatherers always wears its eclecticism weightlessly, airily, dreamily...





Reviews for Dust Gatherers:
“.. An album of eccentric compositions and significant emotional depth” PITCHFORK

“.. Summoning up a psychedelic wonderland of alluring songs draped in pastoral string arrangements and playful synthesisers, Seaming sings with a siren’s call, inviting us to explore the visions, secrets and dreamscapes that lurk just beyond our view in the mirror” CLASH MAGAZINE

“.. 'The album sets off on a journey through myriads of visions, evoking distinct images. Whatever elusive or strange thing Seaming To might be, the experience she offers you is always a thrilling one” The Quietus
