Sea Wolf

I went out on a bit of a limb and got hold of a copy of Sea Wolf's EP, Get to the River Before it Runs Too Low. I was really pleased by the way they sound so I'm glad I did. They sound something like an American Badly Drawn Boy; a pop-inspired sombre atmosphere with a barely noticeable uplifting edge to it. The main appeal is the completeness of the sound. The production standards are incredible and the range of noise achieved is amazingly diverse, from acoustic guitar-driven sections, through the orchestral strings, and on to light-hearted, clean electric guitar riffs.

If the high production standards are combined with the ease at which one can enjoy the EP, it leaves behind a trail of catchy, unintrusive, yet instantly appealing songs that you know will end up as a favourite on your mp3 player's playlist.
