about

"Consistently brilliant songwriting" -Peter Blackstock
"Resurrectionist bursts with flavor and quality songwriting." Tim Stegall

Larry Seaman, “Resurrectionist.” For four decades, a welcome constant in Austin music has been that Seaman will always have quality new songs at the ready. Frontman for proto-new-wavers Standing Waves circa 1980, he’s fronted various bands since then (Last Straw, Violet Crown, Seaman’s Quartet), some leaning more toward edgy rock, others more acoustic in nature. “Resurrectionist” covers the full run between those bases, bound together by consistently brilliant songwriting. “Long Slow Fade” and “Coming Around” are emotionally powerful, guitar-driven panoramas that anchor the middle of the record, while “Things Shouldn’t Be This Way” and the closing “Spring Comes” connect with a lighter touch. A revealing cover of Lou Reed’s “Venus in Furs” is the lone non-original here, but the most welcome inclusion is “Only Memories,” an instantly memorable pop gem written with Standing Waves bandmate Bruce Henderson that dates back to 1982 but somehow had never seen the light of day before this. -Peter Blackstock, Austin 360

Singer-songwriter/guitarist, assemblage artist Larry Seaman announced his local entry into music via the Farfisa-flavored Standing Waves, the most definitively New Wave of all the Raul's-era acts. His edgy sensibility has sharpened over time through a series of bands (Last Straw, Violet Crown, Seaman's Quartet), leading to this solo work. Varying shades of guitar rock range from Tom Petty fronting Television ("Gravedigger") to the menacing and bluesy ("Strings Attached"), and that's just the first two tunes! There's also echoes of solo George Harrison ("Coming Around," "Spring Comes") and a cover of Lou Reed's "Venus in Furs," which somehow makes the Velvet Underground chestnut sound like the Left Banke's baroque pop. "Only Memories," a co-write with ex-Standing Waves member Bruce Henderson somehow left undone since 1982, hurtles along like an early R.E.M. outtake. Resurrectionist bursts with flavor and quality songwriting. -Tim Stegall, Austin Chronicle
