1) Sea Wolf is an American indie rock band led by Alex Brown Church. The band began in 2003 when Church, a founding member of Irving found that many of his songs did not fit with their style. With a rotating ensemble of backing musicians, Sea Wolf played locally in Los Angeles and began recording demos in Seattle with producer Phil Ek (Band of Horses, The Shins, Fleet Foxes). In 2007 they signed to Dangerbird Records and released the Get To The River Before It Runs Too Low EP and a full-length titled Leaves In The River. Read more on Last.fm
I’ve always liked Sea Wolf, even though I thought their previous albums were a bit bland. Old World Romance spices that up a little this time, adding in some subtle electronic and mandolin-esque guitars. It makes me feel like I’m in an alternate universe’s Italy in the 1960s. The vocals are excellent as always, and this is a record you’ll put on quite a bit – likely the best one they’ve done.
