Sea Wolf || Listen

Sea Wolf is the project of Alex Church and stunned many with his debut EP Get To The River Before It Runs Too Low, whose lead song You’re A Wolf seemed made for the alterna-soaps in the US with its catchy melody and edgy lyrics. Combining the best of indie rock (maybe even Joy Division), singer-songwriter depth, Caribou-like electronica and even a bit of Balkan folf feel, the poetry of the lyrics is matched by quietly addictive music that would grace Radiohead or Elliott Smith.

It’s a measure of how high a hurdle has been set that the standout songs before - You’re A Wolf and Middle Distance Runner - now are only just part of what is a great album. This is narrative songwriting at its best - every song has its vignette, neatly told, beautifully presented. When a new act is able to generate songs as smoulderingly great as Black Dirt and You’re A Wolf, it is clear that there is a genuine talent here. - Contactmusic.com
