Recording and release
Seasick was recorded in one week's time after the band had been together for six months. It was released on May 7, 1996 by Slash Records.
Reception
Writing for Spin, Barry Walters praised the songwriting, stating that the "hooks are immediate, nearly non-stop, and the happy/sad lyrics draw you in with abstract intimacy. The album was ranked number 24 in The Village Voice's 1996 Pazz & Jop critics' poll. In a retrospective review, AllMusic reviewer Ned Raggett felt that Seasick was "in many ways the lost Breeders album after Last Splash -- brash, sharp-edged, taking no crap, and having good fun while doing so."
