New Music From Sea Wolf
Sea Wolf delivers 'Wicked Blood' off of 'White White Water, White Bloom.'
HEAVEmedia alum and all around swell fellows Sea Wolf have returned with White Water, White Bloom - a most pleasing follow-up to their most pleasing debut Leaves In The River. Please don't take that as a slight. It's very difficult to be pleasing and super cool at the same time.
Singer/Songwriter Alex Church is a sucker for the seasons. His observations on the changing colors of the trees, or the dew on the grass in the early morning hour could sometimes read like a Michigan travelogue. Aside from his seemingly hidden desire to be a host on the Travel Channel, Church can write one hell of a song.
White Water, White Bloom carries the same torch as Leaves In The River, but now that torch has been doused in gasoline. Escaping the sunny trappings of L.A.'s Silverlake community, Church headed north to Montreal to construct most of his latest album. It was a fine idea indeed - for this little vacation has seemed to awaken a beast that lay dormant on the debut. With an exquisite cello underneath, lead off track "Wicked Blood," starts things off on the perfect note.
White Water, White Bloom is available now on Dangerbird Records.

We've Got You Covered: Run Toto Run and Passion Pit
Run Toto Run take Passion Pit's 'Sleepyhead' and, well, make it sleepier.
I don’t really know much about Run Toto Run. I know they are from Manchester, found popularity in the UK pretty quickly after their formation and, if searched for on Myspace, can make you come across a lady with the same username who is quite creepy about her fondness for dogs. They are also fans of the song “Sleepyhead” by Passion Pit.
Passion Pit’s Manners is going to be at the top of a lot of people’s lists for “best record of 2009,” and Passion Pit, who was considered merely a buzz band in 2008 (thanks mostly to “Sleepyhead”), is now a band that looks like they will be around for quite a while. And with staying power comes other bands covering your music. Run Toto Run decided to take the dance your pants off “Sleepyhead” and make it sound lullaby-like (which makes sense for a title like "Sleepyhead"). The violin reminds me of something you’d hear at a renaissance fair – not like I’ve ever attended one or anything, though.
