Sea Wolf - Leaves In The River · 21 August 2008, 08:00
From the same producer who brought us The Shins, Built to Spill and Band of Horses brings us probably one of the best albums I’ve heard to date this year.
The sounds remind me of rolling hills and the coastline for some reason. What can I say, I’m a sucker for folky type indie music. Just seems lately a lot of artists and albums I’ve been listening to remind me of the North Western part of the United States.
This album and Fleet Foxes were picked up on the same day. I only picked these up to pick up the new Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes) album and I haven’t even really began on his new album since I can’t seem to stop listening to this and Fleet Foxes. Truly and probably the first time I’ve ever gotten two albums in the same purchase where I liked every single song on each, not having any negativity for any portion of the songs or album.

Oh wow. Simply wow. Not sure how I missed their EP a few months back but found this new full length debut from a truly amazing band. Amazing melodies with a folky feel. It’s the type of album that gives you goose bumps it’s so good. It’s a relaxing album you can listen to on most occasions whether you’re alone, coffee house or wherever. It’s uplifting but yet subtle, in the mysterious type of way.
Why are you still reading my short review, go buy this album already?
