Lead singer Tim Baker stated in an interview that the album name, as well as the title track, is about "...the idea ...that we are seeds, travelling from town to town, blowing around, settling down here and there, trying to make something for people", and that "the songs are seeds...they're these little things — four and five minute things — but they have the ability to grow in your brain and be far more meaningful than just what they are".[2]
Seeds received generally favourable reviews. Kate Harper of CHARTattack noted that the album "...succeeds in ways Lungs—though a good album—did not ... there's definitely more of a robust feel throughout all of Seeds." Richard Trapunski of Now Magazine gave a more mixed review: "Aiming for the same puffed-up collective catharsis as Arcade Fire, Tim Baker and co. layer strings, horns, mandolins and anything else they can get their hands on to inflate the songs into anthems."[3]
