One of my favourite new discoveries this year, introduced to me by our very own Indiepawsian Mag, has been Alex Brown Church’s Sea Wolf project whose warm, autumnal pop songs with acoustic melodies and stylish string embellishments have delighted my days in the guises of the 2007 debut Leaves in the River and its pre-decessor EP Get to the River Before It Runs Too Low, both excellent recordings. And now, terribly sneakily (okay, it’s not like I’ve watched the band’s news sites like a hawk though so I’m most likely relaying ages old info), there’s info on the band’s new album.

White Water, White Bloom will be released on September 22nd – perfect release date for a band with such an autumnal sound – and you can check the tracklist behind the cut while you enjoy the sight its cover gracing the face of this article. There’s also a new song available for free: “Stanislaus” is a snare-rollingly regal piece that isn’t much of a step away from the previous material: same lovely guitar jangles, same wonderful organ sound, same great vocal melodies. Anyone who enjoyed the debut will definitely like this one and likewise anyone who decides to download this out of curiosity and enjoys it needs to get the previous material. Stanislaus doesn’t seem to be a part of the actual album however so get it while you can.

You can also, if wanted,  already pre-order the new album from the label store.
