Alex Brown Church; the strong jawed lead singer of Sea Wolf, formerly of Irving in 1998; he and his merry band of friends Lisa Fendeiander, Joyce Lee, Nathan Anderson, Joey Ficken, and Theodore Liscinski, have released a new album called Old World Romance. With all the reverb and story lyrics of former well known Sea Wolf songs such as "You're A Wolf", "Middle Distance Runner" and "Where The Wind Blows", their sound hasn't strayed too far.
Sea Wolf have upped their game, so to speak, with this new album Old World Romance. Even with more prevelant drumming from Joey Ficken as a refreshing change of pace, great vocals from Alex Church as usual, nice unexpected back up from Nathan Anderson, I am hoping to see Lisa Fendeiander vocalize soon. The band has great chemistry. Musically they bring variety to their songs. They build layers together nicely and everything fits and works well. Glad to see Joey Ficken has given himself more creative license with his percussion. Track 8 "Dear Fellow Traveler" is a good example of the new more experimental percussion.
All in all this a great album. It works really well. The band has come together to make another work of art. All the tracks are worth listening to. No "skippers" on this album so put it on and relax. Highly recommend going out and buying the album.
Track 1: Old Friend
Track 8: Dear Fellow Traveler
