‘An astonishing vocalist of haunting emotional power’ - The Guardian
Seaming To will release her new three track EP ‘Natural Process’ via digital and limited-edition lathe cut 10” vinyl on Lo Recordings on the 29th of July 2022.
‘The Natural Process’ is a reworking of Susumu Yokota’s track of the same name and a perfect example of Seaming’s distinct and inventive soundworld. Reminiscent of Laurie Anderson and Bjork and yet utterly unique. Seaming’s luxurious vocal tones wrap and weave their way around a pulsing web of electronic sound. A virtual choir from another world.
‘proneandsupine’ is an immersive choral reverie that demonstrates the full beauty and majesty of Seaming’s voice. The EP concludes with ‘Test Patterns’an excerpt from a live soundtrack composed for the premiere of Victoria Keddie’s film Test Patterns for the closing night of the Basquiat exhibition at the Barbican, London 2018. A beguiling and mysterious soundworld like no other.
Seaming To is a composer, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and producer born in London and comes from a family of concert pianists. She has been described as ‘the voice of a 21st Century’ (BBC Radio1), and an artist that is truly ‘avant garde’ (Robert Wyatt).
Her experimental ethos and mastery across a variety of instruments has enabled her to record and collaborate with some of the most respected and radical artists of this decade in electronic, classical and experimental genres such as the aforementioned Robert Wyatt, Jean Claude Vannier, Punchdrunk, Leila, Leon Michener, Larry Goves and Matthew Bourne. Seaming To has also released albums with Homelife (NinjaTune) and Graham Massey's Toolshed.
