A collaboration between the cascading soundscapes of Detroit’s Infinite River (Joey Mazzola, Gretchen Gonzalez, Warren Defever) and folk troubadour Ethan Daniel Davidson, Seedsman to the World entrance with a slow-burning, hypnotic drone. Davidson’s haunting vocals evoke bygone memories; as songs gradually unfold, each track lingers on the edge of the familiar. Through heavy waves of feedback and fuzz, the album opens to epic expanses of a sound that crackle like half remember dreams. Seedsmen seamlessly blend the dark currents of drone with the mournful confessionals of American folk for an otherworldly ode to songwriters past, as intimate as it is remote.
