I See Seaweed

I See Seaweed is a very tense album that combines the suffocating reality of existing in a world that's slowly decaying, and the isolation that comes with a world full of technology. Liddiard's voice is full of expression, and the attitude the punk blues brings is great. I need to check out the genre more.

The only minus I have is how the album loses itself in the middle, but that's only with two songs, Laika and The Grey Leader, which aren't even half bad, but are unmemorable. Thankfully, that last track is "Radicalization of D"-lite and ends the album on a high note.

It saddens me to see that this album's themes are still as actual and relevant as they were in the time of release.
Also, what's up with Australian blokes writing such heavy music that emphasizes lyrics over music? We have Nick Cave, Rowland S. Howard, and Gareth Liddiard who all come from the Land Down Under and write some really great, unique (albeit in the same vein) lyrically dense songs. What do they put in yall's water?
