Death Cab, Sea Wolf, more playing Hot Topic for New Moon

Remember when I called the Twilight: New Moon Hot Topic tour “the worst plan of all things ever planned?” Well back then, the thought was these good bands (Death Cab, Grizzly Bear, Bon Iver, etc.) would tour Hot Topic stores in support of the new teen vampire movie they […]

Sea Wolf’s White Water, White Bloom is lush and engaging

What can I say that hasn’t been said before? We’ve been hyping this album to death with posts and radio show appearances – and we even got Alex Church himself to discuss it. So obviously, I’m at a bit of a disadvantage here in an attempt to introduce some new words of insight […]

Sea Wolf makes artsy video explaining new song “Wicked Blood”

It’s a video titled “White Water, White Bloom Vol. 1” (named after their upcoming album) and it’s only 58 seconds long. But oh is it chock-full of artistic merit (a wobbly record spinning alone atop a grassy hill, paintings of dogs hung on trees). And it explains a little bit about the band’s new […]

[MP3] Sea Wolf: “Stanislaus”

Sea Wolf White Water, White Bloom

In anticipation of their forthcoming album, White Water, White Bloom (due September 22), Sea Wolf is offering up a new bonus track, available to the public, titled “Stanislaus.” If this song is any indication as to where the new record may be going, it sounds like we should be ready for a bigger, fuller tone from the Los Angeles trio. On “Stanislaus,” Sea Wolf has sort of honed their folk-pop to a more coherent, maybe even folksier (vocals wise) appeal. Honestly, I’m not sure yet if I’d be pleased with such a direction, as I’m partial to Sea Wolf’s previous material on Leaves in the River. It was a nice blend of raw pop with raspy vocals and little production. Here’s to prejudging an entire effort off of one bonus track!

Pre-order White Water, White Bloom via Dangerbird Records. Oh and um, Sea Wolf’s ENTIRE upcoming tour in support of White Water is with the precious and haunting Sara Lov, one of my favorite singer/songwriters of late. Full list of tour dates after the jump.
