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.

Last track off this Los Angeles-based band's five-song EP Get To The River Before It Runs Too Low.

Irgendwie habe ich das Gefhl, 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 Hlfte 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 frh sieht es vielleicht schon wieder ganz anders aus. Das sagt last.fm Zahlen lgen bekanntlich nicht. Oder doch? Naja, [...]]]> text/html 2011-01-12T13:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3113161/112-sea-wolf-wicked-blood-2009/

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 [...]]]> text/html 2010-11-08T16:17:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2954879/wedding-music-vol-03-ceremony/
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 [...]]]> text/html 2010-10-20T20:43:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2908322/sea-wolf-white-water-white-bloom-2009/
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...

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 Were really fucked up. Unlike Radiohead , she didnt lie. Im, at best, a spritely, impassioned, free spirited handful clad in leggings and miniskirts with a perpetual flirtatiously snarky attitude. At worst, however, Im kind of needy and neurotic. I have no filter between what I think and what I say and while I'm smart as whip when it comes to music, books, and pop [...]]]> text/html 2010-09-27T19:08:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2851067/indiefolk-sea-wolf-turn-the-dirt-over/
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.

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 [...]]]> text/html 2010-09-22T14:28:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2838628/from-the-news-nest-morning-benders-sea-wolf-tribute-bob/
