Some Vinyl and CDs still available and floating about

 

 
Some 12inch Vinyl copies of Sad Old Tatty Bunting still available over at Castles in Space
 
There's no one quite like Keith Seatman. His new album Sad Old Tatty Bunting, is a psychedelic joyride through a parallel universe, a dreamlike England full of alchemists and scarecrows and gated communities guarded by gnomes.
Bob Fischer Electronic Sound (March 2022)

Keith has gradually risen to the top of the pile of the hauntology genre. For this new album It’s an album of wonky, kaleidoscopic psychedelia and has some genuinely scary moments on offer. It’s like some mad, arcade feature, I am again caught up in a seemingly never ending fairground nightmare, there’s a ton of synths and backwards guitar riffs vying for my attention.
Andrew Young Terrascope (May 2022) 
 
 
Some 10inch Green Vinyl copies of The Broken Folk EP still available over at
Ghostbox Records/Belbury Music Shop.

 

This 5 song 10inch EP combines the plaintive English voice of Powell placed amongst Germanic analogue organ, synths and sequencers creating the type of dark Cold War soundscapes favoured by the Radiophonic Workshop to the Human League. Floydian incidental music for a late 70s post nuclear meltdown drama.
Shindig Magazine (Jan 2019)

 

Some CD copies of Disjointed Oddities and Other Such Things  still available over at
 
"Disjointed Oddities Vol: 2 follows on from 2018's Disjointed Oddities and Other Such things.
This is by the great Keith Seatman. Over the last 13 years has released 7 solo albums,
all of them unique and interesting."
Stuart Maconie, Freak Zone BBC 6 Music June 2023  
 

Recalling the abstract experiments of Basil Kirchin, back-to-the-nursery psychedelic nightmares that were recurring scenarios on The Prisoner and The Avengers. A parping, marching melody that could’ve come from The Residents. This 16-minute EP is a perfect introduction to Seatman’s evocative, unsettling world.

Broken Folk 10inch EP available now on Bandcamp

I am pleased to say that there is now a limited number of copies of the Seatman & Powell (featuring Belbury Poly) Broken Folk 10inch EP, available from Bandcamp. Previously only available from Ghostbox Records, Belbury Music Shop. A five track EP of collaborations with folk singer Douglas E. Powell /Bellprover selected from my albums, A Rest Before the Walk and all hold hands and off we go. It opens with a remix of the title track Broken Folk by Ghost Box veterans, Belbury Poly.
Melancholic and subtly psychedelic, these songs are redolent of supernatural short stories and winter afternoons out on English landscapes. In these dark rustic reveries, Seatman builds a dense collage of electronics, fragmented melody and found sound, around which Powell weaves his dreamlike lyrics. The 10” is pressed on translucent green vinyl with sleeve art by Belbury Poly's Jim Jupp. It’s released on Seatman’s own label KS Audio and is produced in association with Belbury Music.

A bit of an update

There are now only 5 CD copies of Disjointed Oddities and Other Such Things left on my Bandcamp site
The Broken Folk 10inch EP is still available from the re-vamped and new looking
Belbury Music Shop.

My last album was All Hold Hands and Off we Go in 2017 and I spent most of 2018 working on the 2 EPs and Tracks for A Year in the Country and Wyrd Kalendar
I do have plans to release another album sometime, tunes have been recorded and at present its lots of listening back and whittling the tracks down to maybe a dozen.
At present really not sure when or how it will be released.
I have recorded a track for A Year in the Country for relese later in the year.
When I do know what I am doing (do I ever ???)
I will post all info here and on Twitter

Working Hard

At present trying to work on a couple of projects for 2018. Hopefully there will be a CD/Digital EP out and also a 7in Vinyl EP, featuring reworkings of four tracks cowritten with Douglas E Powell taken from the last two albums (All Hold Hands and Off We Go, A Rest Before the Walk).
The Reworks are Boxes with Rhythms in, Broken Folk, My Morning Ritual and Mr Metronome. At present we do not know when the 7inch EP will be released and are currently considering, and looking into any offers that come our way to assist with the release of this single EP. Here are a couple of images secretly taken of the team working hard on projects for 2018.
