Alternate blog title: Starting The Year Off Right My calendar is marked beyond legibility with concert dates for the next few months and my concert budget is shot... there is no other way I would want to start 2012. Recently I've been coming across album after album that I've loved for quite a while yet [...]
Friday November 25th is Black Friday, and SEA WOLF will release two rare tracks with a 7-inch featuring "Song Of The Magpie" and "Where The Wind Blows." in honor of BACK TO BLACK FRIDAY. "BACK TO BLACK FRIDAY" is organized by RECORD STORE DAY, a cooperative project of hundreds of independent record stores in the [...]

Last track off this Los Angeles-based band's five-song EP Get To The River Before It Runs Too Low. This tune is taken straight from a page in Arcade Fire's playbook: Indie rock + String instruments = Awesomeness.
Irgendwie habe ich das Gefühl, dass ich mich noch nie so schwer getan habe wie dieses Jahr, eine - bzw. sogar zwei - definitve Top 10 zu erstellen. Und wie immer habe ich bestimmt wieder die Hälfte vergessen und entdecke einige der besten Platten und Songs von 2010 sowieso erst in zwei Monaten. Deshalb, wie immer, nur eine Momentaufnahme vom Abend des 19. Januar 2011. Morgen früh sieht es vielleicht schon wieder ganz anders aus. Das sagt last.fm Zahlen lügen bekanntlich nicht. Oder doch? Naja, [...]
This songs sounds A LOT like Arcade Fire meets Fanfarlo. I love both those bands so naturally I would love something like this.
I get emails all day and night from people who want me to listen to their music and write about it. And most of the time, I listen to a few seconds then put it in the archive folder of my Gmail. Something happened the other day though. I was trying to empty my inbox, but instead opened an email from a New Haven based folk group named Plume Giant . I didn't remember seeing it in my inbox, so I read through it and listened to their attached song Fool Hall [...]
And so the Wedding Music posts continue (with plenty more to come). After this volume the rest of the music is pretty much a mix tape filled with awesome. During the ceremony we linked together songs that all had a similar tone and vibe and built upon the theme of a traditional yet contemporary ceremony. Hence the use of Vitamin String Quartet and other modern acts. In this final Ceremony volume there are four tracks that were played while the guests were being dismissed from the church. We probably could have added another track into this time, but [...]
Taking the name from Jack London's 1904 novel, The Sea Wolf, Sea Wolf is the incarnation of the musical ideas of singer/songwriter Alex Church. While Church remains the sole composer of every song on... Download your favourite album at The Mood Indicator
I remember when Radiohead told me "Meeting people is easy." Well guess what? They lied. I also remember when my old roommate and fellow RFC contributor Sara Jacobsen said "You know… We're really fucked up." Unlike Radiohead , she didn't lie. I'm, at best, a spritely, impassioned, free spirited handful clad in leggings and miniskirts with a perpetual flirtatiously snarky attitude. At worst, however, I'm kind of needy and neurotic. I have no filter between what I think and what I say and while I'm smart as whip [...]
![[Indie/Folk] Sea Wolf – Turn The Dirt Over](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2851067_lg.jpg)
Sea Wolf is a band led by Alex Brown Church, an indie folk musician based in Los Angeles, California As stated on allmusic.com , much like Iron & Wine and similar indie outfits, Sea Wolf is the project name of a sole singer/songwriter who drafts in other musicians as the occasion warrants. That singer/songwriter is Alex Church, a California native who looks to local authors like John Steinbeck and Jack London (whose 1904 novel The Sea Wolf provided the band name) for inspiration. It's always hard to remember that Sea Wolf hasn't been [...]
Sea Wolf ' s an interesting character. Even though Alex Brown Church began performing under the moniker only a few years ago (around L.A. as a solo act before getting signed to Dangerbird records), Sea Wolf has never seemed like an emerging artist. In fact, despite a mere 2 LP's under his belt, it feels like Church has been an indie music staple for decades, making straight up "intellectual indie", chock full of literary references and mythical lyrics that solidify Church as every "thinking indie chick"'s crush. It's always hard to remember that Sea Wolf hasn't been around [...]
We always love when musicians that we love pay tribute to musicians that they love! The Morning Benders, Sea Wolf and Peter Morén from Peter Bjorn and John have joined several other artists to cover the entirety of Bob Dylan's 1965 album "Bringing It All Back Home." More like it: FROM THE NEWS NEST: Morning Benders release new video and more. FROM THE NEWS NEST: Morning Benders announce European tour and more.

Right before Alex Brown Church of Sea Wolf was about to kick off his solo acoustic tour, he graciously gave us a few minutes of his time for a chat. Here it is the first part of that: Pasta: Can I... [go to the website to read the rest of the article, download mp3s and more]
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17 Before the term "indie rock" entered the cultural lexicon—and subsequently came to include so many different types of music that it had to be broken down into countless sub-genres—it actually served as an adequate descriptor for a very specific sound. In the early '90s, you wouldn't have had to string together a series of seemingly random words (like, say, "lo-fi/post-garage slacker-rock") to describe a band like Pavement . No, "indie rock" would do just fine. Today—more than 10 years after rising tensions within the band led to its slow, painful [...]
