SEEDY JEEZUS - DAMNED TO THE DEPTHS PRE SALES JULY 4 - RELEASED AUGUST 2
Seedy Jeezus are proud to announce the release of their long-awaited third studio album — their most emotionally charged and sonically expansive work to date.
Six years in the making, the album marks a significant evolution for the band, which features Paul Crick, Mark Sibson, Lex Waterreus, and Tony Reed. Known for his work with Mos Generator, Big Scenic Nowhere, and Pentagram, Reed not only joins the band as a full member but also takes the helm as producer, shaping the sound .
Thematically, the album delves deep into the human experience of death, with one side focused on grief and the other on mourning, weaving together dark psychedelia, heavy riffage, and introspective lyricism.
The album artwork was created by acclaimed French painter Michel Henricot, known for his emotionally intense and often surrealist works exploring human psychology, mortality, and the unconscious. Michel had listened to early demos and liked what he had heard and the idea of his art being a visual extension to the music..Tragically, Michel passed away before the album was completed, making his contribution a lasting tribute to his talent and vision.
The record also features a haunting guest performance by Kasinda Faase on flute, adding an ethereal layer to the track The Hollow Earth.
Seedy Jeezus invite listeners into an immersive sonic journey — a bold and deeply personal statement forged in patience, vision, and creative fire.

The was long talks into the night about what to call the album, it was decided to call the second album “ Tranquonauts 2”. They had the title and they just needed the album. This took longer than expected.
2022, Isaiah Mitchell was finishing up a two year tour as a guitarist for The Black Crowes. This tour ended in Melbourne, Australia.So the chance was there to record the second album (T2) after the Black Crowes tour.
Seedy Jeezus booked a studio in Melbourne and the following day they met up and locked themselves in the studio and jammed for hours…. Recording random thoughts ideas and just playing where the music went, with no expectations, except to have a blast and enjoy themselves.
Fast forward to late 2023, while Lex was in New York, he cut together from all of the recordings, an outline of what the second album would sound like. With so much material at hand, Lex also pulled out 2 songs to be added on a 7” in the deluxe version. Then it was sent to Tony Reed to mix and master. At this time, Tony was also invited to contribute to the album, which he did. Playing various instruments and adding vocals etc…
