Seam
Sooyoung Park's post-Bitch Magnet project. Started in Chapel Hill, moved to Chicago, and got quieter and more devastating with every record. Park's guitar playing went from noise rock to these slow, aching melodies that hit you in the chest. The Problem with Me is one of the best records nobody bought. Touch and Go's secret weapon.
People
Former Bitch Magnet frontman who started Seam and made some of the most underrated records of the 90s. Went from abrasive noise rock to slow-burning emotional gut punches. One of indie rock's great unsung guitarists — his tone on The Problem with Me is the sound of a heart breaking in slow motion.
Seam's original bassist through Headsparks and The Problem with Me. Anchored the early lineup while Park was figuring out how to turn Bitch Magnet's aggression into something more reflective.
Seam's drummer from 1993 through the end. Later played in Bottomless Pit. Had this patient, unhurried style that let Park's guitar lines breathe. Perfect drummer for a band that kept getting slower and better.
Seam's second guitarist through their best years. Added depth and texture to Park's increasingly melodic guitar work. The interplay between him and Park on Are You Driving Me Crazy? is understated and beautiful.
