Sea Wolf
Get to the River Before It Runs Too Low
Dangerbird
This is the debut EP from LA based singer/songwriter Alex Church, produced by Phil Ek (Built To Spill, The Shins). Recorded partly in the studio and partly in Church's living room, this collection of 5 songs captures the warmth of a homemade recording but can swell with beautiful confidence when mixed with complex orchestration. Church's vocals have an intimate feel that recalls vintage Fence releases but though many of the songs have a melancholic theme of loss the overall feeling is one of affection and honesty. Musically there is a rich blend of delicate guitars and washes of cello that create a satisfying mix of foggy folk with uplifting pop melodies. The result is simple and effective, captivating and entirely genuine and really whets the appetite for the full length album Leaves In The River.
