Sea Wolf: Get To The River Before It Runs Too Low

Sea Wolf
Get To The River Before It Runs Too Low
2007 | Dangerbird

Alex Church is known for his work holding down the bass and adding harmonies for Irving. Nowadays, he's shedding his exoskeleton as Sea Wolf. His music has grown steadily with high profile shows after a knockout Spaceland residency last year. Get To The River Before It Runs Too Low expands upon his previous self-released EP with songs that are more matured and dynamic. Thanks to recording sessions with Phil Ek (The Shins, Modest Mouse) Sea Wolf is being realized and refined with a full-length due later this year.

“You’re a Wolf” and the Echo & The Bunnymen influenced “Ses Monuments” are the upbeat stunners on this record. The songs are acoustically-driven by Church and his troupe with layers of keys, strings and warm vocals that sound personal and inviting. Overall, this disc is delicate and careful, rubbing shoulders with Wilco and sometimes Elliott Smith. But Sea Wolf’s biggest draw is going to be Church’s brave and original songwriting that effortlessly displays his insecurities, relationship woes and realities that we can all relate to.
