SEA WOLF
[MP3] "The Cold, the Dark and the Silence"
SEA WOLF is the creation of ALEX CHURCH, founding member of the L.A. indie outfit IRVING. On his full-length debut, LEAVES IN THE RIVER, the songs tend toward straightforward, folk-oriented pop. The production is clean and uncluttered, and there's a nice undercurrent of gray-skied, winter chill to keep things grounded. On this gray-skied, hinting-at-winter-chill evening, I'm digging the vibe.
