Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces is the fourth album by Seether.
Bassist Dale Stewart credits Shaun Morgan for naming the album. Stewart explained, “It’s a title that Shaun came up with one day and it immediately just stuck. I think for all of us, it was a timely and appropriate word to describe the last year that we’ve had, you know with writing an album and some other stuff that has happened around us. […] The music was always the one positive thing that came out of this string of bad things and it really just kind of kept us going.”
The cover artwork was designed by David Ho, the same artist who designed the cover for the album Vicious Delicious by Infected Mushroom. The covers apparently display the same character, “Candice the Ghost.”
Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces is dedicated to Shaun Morgan’s brother, Eugene, who committed suicide on August 13, 2007, by jumping out of window on eight floor of the Radisson Hotel in Rapid City, South Dakota. On the back of the physical album booklet you can read:
This album is dedicated to the memory of
Eugene “June Ra” Alain Welgemoed
Loving son, loyal friend and the best goddam brother any dumb fucker could wish for.
We all love and miss you terribly brother. RIP!
