"The Seawhores make surprises and have mysteries in everything they do. It's a good bet that they are a band that is hard to match." - DOUBLE INDEMNITY "They seem to be everywhere, from music to performance art and back around, but the appearance of variety is a complete illusion. The Seawhores do only one thing: they beautifully fuck up your mind." - AMERICAN LAWN After several esoteric self-released EPs, The Seawhores have finally unleashed their debut full-length: Forest will be the first widely available album for Minneapolis' most enigmatic band. The Seawhores are always changing, working in secret to develop new songs, new multimedia experiences, new technologies and new setups. They meticulously mastermind every move, carefully planning each new metamorphosis. They have more than paid their dues by extensively touring art house, basement, gallery and plain old rock venues all across America with musical brethren such as The Melvins, Phantomas, Lightning Bolt, Helios Creed, Gas War, Wolf Eyes, Heroine Sheiks, Pink and Brown, Vaz and The Thrones. They have extended their DIY roots, and are trying to wake up the tired indie rock masses with their own brand of orchestral doom-pop. Originally comprised as a hyper-efficient two-piece, Cody Weigel and Adam Marx employed a wall of unexplainable amplifiers, multimedia interfaces and proprietary devices. Always interested in redefining the traditional rock experience, they incorporated visuals and film vignettes in their performances, even using a large-screen TV in place of a real drummer. Scary, funny and irreverent, some of these visual experiments were reminiscent of early German experimentalist Otto Muhl. The current Seawhores lineup has been rounded out to include two of Minneapolis' finer musicians - Brady Lenzen and Freddy Votel (ex-Cows, TVBC). This six-track full-length features four songs with all four Seawhores members and includes two tracks featuring special guest musicians Brian Chippendale (Lighting Bolt, Sightings) and Dale Crover of The Melvins!
