It seems like a lifetime ago, but I first posted on Sea Wolf over three years ago. Since then they’ve released their debut album, released an EP and toured the world. Now LP2 is finally ready for me/us to obsess over, nitpick and (hopefully) enjoy.

The first track for our consumption, “Stanislaus,” can be streamed here. You can also download it if you input your email address. “Stanislaus” is, truthfully, what Conor Oberst/Bright Eyes should sound like. It’s folk music, but the interesting kind. Instead of background noise, Sea Wolf have crafted a song that draws you close, making good on its promise of a good yarn and an even better tune.

Stream or download “Stanislaus” from Sea Wolf’s new record White Water, White Bloom
