This summer, Birmingham native James Welch spent a couple of months living and working in Berlin. While he apparently never felt like overcoming the status of a mere tourist (this city is known for that indeed), the town must have made some serious impression on him. At any rate, its atmosphere, the outdoor living of the city in the summer, was Welch's inspiration for a new EP under his moniker Seams, aptly titled, well, Tourist. Each track based on field recordings made with a tape recorder or his phone, he says he attempted "to recreate the feeling of being" in Berlin. Hung Markets is the first EP track made available, a stunning and brilliant piece of electronica that indeed goes well with walking through this city's streets (I've done some field research on that). The whole EP will be released via Pictures Music in roughly a month,and be sure to visit Seams' bandcamp for more of his recent stuff.
