Seam were a three piece-band slacker-pop/alternative band led by former Bitch Magnet frontman Sooyoung Park.
Seam recorded four albums between 1991 and 1999, including their debut album and subject of this post, Headsparks. This album featured original drummer Mac McCaughan, who was a fully paid up member until his departure due to the increasing demands of his "day job" as Superchunk vocalist/guitarist.
The Bitch Magnet and Superchunk references are somewhat misleading, and do not accurately reflect the Seam sound, which ranged from atmospheric guitar washes with subdued melodic vocals reminiscent of Built to Spill and Sebadoh, as illustrated by Decatur, Feather, Granny 9x, to more straightforward driving punk-lite such as Grain, Pins and Needles and Shame, the latter featuring Velocity Girl front-woman Sarah Shannon.
