PEOPLE SAY THIS ABOUT NATHANIEL SEER

Cheery music fans beware! This Bloomington, Indiana native's second album of Americana/folk narrative songs is memorable and unique, but decidely from a darker perspective. Seer moves stealthily from silky smooth like Jeff Buckley or John Cale (the darkly poetic “Karaoke,” for example) to more whiskey-soaked and dangerous ala Mark Lanegan (the rollicking Western-style murder ballad “John Brown's Hatchet”). Yet despite these comparisons, Seer's sound is purely his own. This combination of elements works well, and casts Seer as a serious contender for label interest, in my honest opinion. Songs Of Hate invokes a great American artistic spirit, and one that never grows old or tired. Superlative and worthy work, and easily recommended.
