I can only assume this is the Lexi on bass, Sooyoung on guitar, Craig White on guitar, and Mac McCaughan lineup.
Seam released two versions of the Kernel single, one that ends with Feather, and one without Feather but with Shame and "Dynamite Truck." The recording quality is also different for the title track on each, and I prefer how it sounds on this version. Kernel is a strange track. It gallops along like nothing else Seam has done. The lines "It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, that's what I tell you" are very uncharacteristic of Seam's more dejected lyrics. It's a welcome break, and I revisit it often. Shame is a track that would appear on Seam's first album, Headsparks, but with vocalist Sarah Shannon of Velocity Girl. On this single, it is much slower and has Sooyoung on vocal duties. Sweet Pea, here, lacks the distinctive second guitar that really drives it on The Problem With Me. Vocals are also more pronounced, and the "I know" bit not being shouted. A neat little novelty. Driving The Dynamite Truck is a cover, but wow. Seam really takes it and makes it their own. I adore this version. Had it on repeat for fucking days. I really wish Seam had put out more music with these shouting type of vocals from Sooyoung. Every single time Sooyoung goes "YOU'RE PURRING IN MY ARMS, fuck it gets me so good. In another life, perhaps, they did more like this.

Working, getting older, losing friends, losing lovers. Elizabeth Mitchell, and Daniel Littleton, hit these marks with finesse, passion, and really great harmony. Theres something pulling me back under your covers/But a woman who knows better sees that its time to leave is a wonderful couplet in F. Boyfriend/Baroque Boyfriend that says just enough about the relationship and the narrator, presumably Elizabeth Mitchell: Its not the best relationship, and that theyre too immature to leave it. But we have to go through these things to become that someone who knows better. Especially when were losing friends because were so busy with other things (Temping) that they cant help us.
And then theres Dollface and Dog Show. Perhaps Im missing something, but I think they interrupt the flow of the album more than anything else. More so Dog Show.
I hadnt really been much for music, lately. My last upload was a month ago with 33.3s self-titled. But this just really swept me away. One of my most enjoyed discoveries in a long time; I really do adore this album. Im almost sad that Ive nearly got all I can out of it and will eventually look for new albums to absorb. Coupons is incredible, ditto for Looking Through The Glass. What a work. Ida - Tales Of Brave Ida (lyrics in comments)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wv3LDtpLYpg/mqdefault.jpg)
