Headsparks is the debut studio album by the American indie rock band Seam, released on March 11, 1992 by Homestead Records.
Headsparks was recorded by Jerry Kee at Duck-Kee Studios in Raleigh, North Carolina in August 1991. [1] The album was released on March 11, 1992 by Homestead Records. [2] [3]
Headsparks was positively received by critics. Ned Raggett of AllMusic awarded the album a rating of four out of five stars and praised Sooyoung Park's singing and guitar playing, saying that the record features "a blend that's at once powerful, heartfelt, and anthemic almost in spite of itself." [2] He considered "Sky City" and "Feather" to be the album's highlights. [2] Victoria Wheeler of Spin also enjoyed the album, commenting that Seam "gets slow but not lethargic, sensitive but not whiny, persistent but not nagging, confused but far from lost. Plus, the band pulls clever punches like pasting all that static-y haze over smartly tart, twangy, almost banjoish guitar." [4]

Like much of Godflesh's music, it is regarded as particularly heavy and aggressive, and these elements helped it gain critical acclaim.
