I daresay that no artist better captures the mood and ambiance of a crisp fall day than Sea Wolf. As October is just around the corner, it's perfect timing that he just so happened to release a new album last week. Sea Wolf (Alex Church) plays the sort of dark, moody tunes that would serve as the perfect backdrop to a night spent sipping brandy in front of the fireplace while perched in a worn in leather arm chair. Not like I've ever experienced an evening like that, but I can only imagine. Since no videos have yet been posted from the new album, above is the first single off their debut album which was released back in 2007. If you're a fan then check out their new album, 'White Water, White Bloom', which doesn't depart at all from the formula of their first release. You can catch them playing a show at DC9 on Monday October 19.
I've been waiting almost a year for the release of the Asteroids Galaxy Tour's debut album, Fruit. Though it's still a few weeks away (the U.S. release is Oct 13), I figured this new video should help tide me over until then. You may recall this band first gathered attention by being featured on an Apple ad last Summer. Since then this Danish ensemble has been busy touring all over Europe, so busy in fact it's caused them to take a while to finally get their album out there. Once it drops, I'll be crossing my fingers that a U.S. tour will soon follow.
