Song(s) of the Day # 4,295 Searows

 


Searows Death in the Business of Whaling. An album that I was naturally disposed to warm to given that I've adopted the pursuit of whaling as a metaphor for the journey, guiding principles and momentum  of this blog. We drive into  the coming storm prow aloft head onwards in the face of it because it's all we can do. Where was I? Ah yes Searows, 

This is folk essentually and dispenses atmosphere and tenacity in spades. This record has precedent; Big Thief, Alex G, Phoebe Bridgers and Ethel Cain.Glum resilience and digged and admirable durability. I'm much taken with this.,

  1. Thanks Cap'n! Coincidentally, came across this yesterday evening. Liked the first couple of tracks, but need to hear the rest. Will give it a proper listen! I've got a few things for you, too, including Sunday Mourners, Jo Passed, Bernard Grancher and PVA
