The Pace Is Glacial is the fourth and final studio album by American indie rock band Seam.

It was released in 1998 on Touch and Go Records.

[4][5] The Chicago Tribune wrote that Seam "distills its no-frills guitar rock into a tight collection of creeper melodies and haunting ruminations on who-knows-what that are nonetheless emotionally resonant.

"[6] The Sunday Times thought that "while tiny fragments of noise circle the peripheries of 'Little Chang' and 'The Prizefighters', there's always a moment when the weirdness coalesces into an irresistible rock riff.

"[7] All tracks are written by Seam
