Seedbed is a revolving-door collective project helmed by Atlanta songwriter JJ Posway (<a href="spotify:artist:7LqeQdlrrt9XltTigCyNLa" data-name="Sloping">Sloping</a>, Scooterbabe).
After six years of recording what was to be the ambitious final studio album of Posway’s long-running Athens-based band Scooterbabe, most traces of the group’s scrappy indie pop had been burnished off to reveal something entirely new. What emerged from the ashes was Seedbed.
Largely composed of performances and songwriting contributions by Scooterbabe’s final lineup (Anna Staddon [vocals, keyboard], Michael Buice [bass], Zach Spires [drums]), the formation of Seedbed marks the calling in of producer Terence Chiyezhan to help mix and arrange years of piecemealed recordings. The result is an intensely imposing stylistic shift for Posway and company, as tense as the apt title of Seedbed’s growing pains-fueled debut album Stalemate implies.
Stalemate stares straight into an all-consuming whirlpool of a million swirling emotions spanning the past seven years; It’s glistening and reflective on “Unit 4” and “C c c c c c c c c c c,” while cacophonously turbulent for “Fingertips Like Ice” and foreboding album opener "<a href="spotify:track:46HhsL1L3aERbJMVfCHoXH" data-name="Mouse At Your Feet">Mouse At Your Feet</a>." But the entirety of Stalemate is nostalgia-soaked and dripping with the painful necessity of change. It brazenly steeps in the tension and grief that accompanies evolution - even at the risk of drowning in it completely.
