Lookie here, we've got a long Valentine's Day slash President's Day weekend. Not sure what you do with a combo holiday weekend like this other the obvious of making out to the music of Abe Lincoln Story or Andrew Jackson Jihad or something. Just going to the shows below might work too...Tonight, listen up for Nicole Kidman on Demolisten. Later, check out the debut of Shadow Shadow Shade at

Last week was all about the new Beach House album. This week is a little be quieter, but there's still some good music hitting the shelves today. The Album Leaf releases their fifth LP today, A Chorus of Storytellers (pictured above). If you're looking for a beautiful soundtrack to your day take a listen to the mostly-instrumental ambient, atmospheric, moody (whatever you want to call it) tunes found on A Chorus of Storytellers - it reminds me quite a lot of [...]

Sea Wolf - White Water, White Bloom 7/10 The album is dead, right? That's what everyone keeps saying, though I'm not convinced it's true anywhere other than in the minds of those that say it. Maybe the era of 3 good songs + 7 filler tracks is over, and in that sense the 'bad' album is dead, but I'm sure none of us are mourning that. Though I'm not sure 'bad' albums are dead either, other than maybe people aren't as eager to pay for them. I think the 'good' album is still [...]

One of my favorite songwriters of the past several years has been pretty active the past few months and I just realized that I had failed to make mention of him here on the blog. Alex Brown Church has been making some of the best and most inspired indie rock music under the pseudonym Sea Wolf. I highly recommend his 2007 debut, Leaves in the River. But today I want to point you to what he has been up to in 2009. First he offered up a free sample, with the single "Stanislaus", to give us [...]
Another video appropriate for Halloween. White Water, White Bloom is available now via Dangerbird Records. Video: Sea Wolf – Wicked Blood
Yes, yes - we missed this for Halloween, we know. Amidst the campy, creepy imagery (isn't that Santa Claus in there, too?),"Wicked Blood" finds the straight-faced Sea-Wolf -man Alex Brown Church doing his strummiest pop while guest actress Shannyn Sossaman runs around in her nightie, all eyebrows and feigned fright. Goofy fun. Video ends, melody still careening around your brain. From the fine album White Water, White Bloom . More DC/Sea Wolf (and streams) here .
Music video for "Wicked Blood" by L.A.'s Sea Wolf from the album "White Water, White Bloom."
Sea Wolf's new video for "Wicked Blood" has just premiered. If you remember, when SFCritic reviewed Sea Wolf's show at Bimbos , this song stood out amongst the others from his new album. With black and white filming, the video retains Sea Wolf's artsy, poetic style. Featuring mummies, zombies, and an astronaut werewolf this video was perfect for the Halloween scare, though it's not really all that scary. Enjoy.
by charles poladian It was a time for ghosts, ghouls, CMJ, and sunlight. October has come and left us bitter. That night where I gained an hour was a precious gift that loving October could only bring. Unfortunately November shakes sleep from her gentle head from a year of slumber and her gift is darkness at five in the evening. But that's the breaks kid. [...]

In a completely well-timed move, Sea Wolf just released their Halloween-themed video for "Wicked Blood." It's a goofy, self aware take on Plan 9 From Outer Space and the low budget/sci-fi horror genre. It's nice enough, but still not quite as good at the song.

Sea Wolf have premiered the music video for " Wicked Blood ". The track, off the band's latest album, ' White Water, White Bloom ', is the perfect video to start your Halloween weekend. ' White Water, White Bloom ' is out now via Dangerbird Records .
Earlier in the week, the new video from Sea Wolf hit the web and it's timing couldn't be more perfect. Featuring vaudevillian ghosts, skeletons, some sort of big-foot-astronaut hybrid and the babe-tastic Shannyn Sossamon, the spooky effort is perfect viewing for Halloween.
