Stems and Seeds is a 2009 album by Ben Folds. It is a remastered version of his previous album Way to Normal in a different track order. Folds explained its release as being due to popular demand, as many fans requested a less compressed version.^[1]

The first disc consists of stem files that can be used in computer applications such as GarageBand to produce remixes.
