I like the fact that Seawolf release their new spooky video the day before Halloween and also that it comes out the day they are playing here in Phoenix. I guess it just heightens the excitement a little more right? Am I just being weird? Do they sound a lot like Arcade Fire? Do you think it will be packed tonight? Do these pants make me look fat? These are all questions we can talk about over ...
Alex Brown Church brings Sea Wolf to Modified on Friday, a day before Halloween, which makes this new video for Wicked Blood – the leadoff track on the album White Water, White Bloom – all the more timely. Delivered in black-and-white, the visuals play out like some beauty and the beast tale, set against the [...]
In promotion of his upcoming sophomore full length, White Water, White Bloom, LA based musician Alex Church (aka Sea Wolf), has been releasing a series of webisode interviews. In the newest installment, Church discusses recording in Omaha and his writing process. The first 3 nicely shot clips with interview audio and a peaceful scenic backdrop [...]
We previously posted about Sea Wolf’s upcoming album, with a bonus MP3 for download, which was damned good. I was wondering how it could be considered a bonus song if it was that good. Now they are streaming their lead single “wicked blood” on their myspace page, and that kind of tells me why: it’s [...]
September has arrived and it's still hot as hell in LA. Unbelievable. Sea Wolf will be sweating it out across the United States touring behind their love-struck sophomore record, White Water, White Bloom. The new release drops on September 22nd courtesy of Dangerbird Records. While you wait for them to let that loose, feast your ears on the first single off the album
Alex Brown Church, the singer/songwriter behind Sea Wolf, is wise as to the timing of his album releases. 2007's impressive debut - Leaves in the River - dropped in September and was a perfect fit to the fall season, with a broad stylistic range of folk songs that conjured both the last sighs of summer and the eerie approach of winter, using everything from acoustic guitars to accordions to dig...
On his debut album Leaves in the River, Sea Wolf was more a cub than a wolf. Generally, his music is soft and calming. When I first heard Sea Wolf it was the end of winter in Minnesota. The weather was still and cold, with gloomy clouds presiding over most mornings. His music fit the scenery, warmly filling the emptiness of the Minneapolis streets. It was therefore strange, almost a year later,...
Sea Wolf returns after a few years with a new album, White Water, White Bloom. “Stanislaus” comes from that album; more specifically, it comes as a bonus track on the vinyl version of the album. On “Stanislaus”, Sea Wolf continues their pop-heavy Americana-style folk. The song is impressive for a bonus track [...]
I've been listening to Sea Wolf now for over a year maybe longer, and I just remember the first time hearing them. It was an experience none the less. Middle Distance Runner was one of my favorite songs and I would sit in front of their myspace page and play all their music over and over and over again.I have a funny feeling that Alex church is going to go big with Sea Wolf. Almost everyday aft...

Coming back to this website was a little scary. I'm a gutsy girl, for the most part but my ego has thinner skin than I like to admit, and I was worried...What if nobody remembers? What if nobody cares???? But I received a warm MOG welcome from my companions, both past and current. Man, I love you guys.Driving to work this past week, this song came up on my ipod rotation and it just fit. I t...

This guy Sea Wolf (or Alex Brown Church) is on the road now, and I think you're going to hear more about him. His sound is balanced tipsily between indie pop and Americana, happy on the surface but shadowy underneath (just like all quality pop is, IMO). Here's what I wrote about his Philly show. The rest of the dates follow:Sea WolfSat., Nov. 3, 9pm. $10. With Mark Mulcahy + Hong Kong Stingr...
