Leaves in the River

Sea Wolf

Cello-laced indie folk that captures the exact transition from autumn to winter. Warm acoustic textures meet literate, somber storytelling in a foggy landscape.

September 25, 2007 · Dangerbird Records

A patient, nature-obsessed melancholy that feels like a warm coat in a cold wind.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the cello swells to meet the acoustic strumming in the title track, creating a heavy, grounded melancholy.
The driving, almost urgent rhythm of Middle Distance Runner that breaks the album's otherwise somber pace.
The haunting, sparse piano opening of The Cold, the Dark & the Silence that feels like a physical chill.
