Alex Church, the lead singer and founder of Sea Wolf, was a founding member of my favorite band, Irving. His songwriting skills are amazing, and this EP, Get to the River Before It Runs Too Low, showcases his ability to write beautiful and engaging songs perfectly. My personal favorite is You're a Wolf, but every song he writes finds a way to burrow into my subconscious. While I lament the fact that he is no longer with Irving, I rejoice in the beauty that is Sea Wolf and am so thankful he is still bringing new songs into the world. I can't wait for the full album that will be released this year! In the meanwhile, I'm so excited to see Sea Wolf play live - they blew me away when I saw them play the noise pop festival.

This CD was good, and I defnitely want to hear more from them. It did sound a bit too much like old Bright Eyes at times. I think this is a good band to watch for in the future.

I got this as a gift a while ago, I'd never heard of Sea Wolf at the time. I've probably listened to this cd 100 times over the past couple of years. Yeah, it is short- only 5 songs, but it is great. I have a couple other cd's by them (because I liked this one so much), I think this is the best. It is a very cohesive album as opposed to a collection of songs. If you have the least bit of interest in Sea Wolf, buy/borrow/steal this. You won't be disappointed.

What a great debut! The lyrics are simply fantastic, and this EP is a really amazing mix of songs of different tempo. The first song, You're a Wolf, made it onto their subsequent album, Leaves in the River, later in 2007. I ended up buying both this EP and Leaves in the River because their music was so good. The EP ends with I Don't Know if I'll Be Back This Time, possibly the best song on the EP, although I think that The Garden That You Planted is really good, too.

I heard "You're a Wolf" on the radio and was hooked from first listen. And I'm hearing more interesting music on INDIE 103.1 (in Los Angeles) than on KROQ. It's only a mini-CD (5 songs) but worth it. The other songs are growing on me. I think i need to go listen to it NOW. Why isn't this being played EVERYWHERE????
BUY IT NOW.

I heard "You're a Wolf" on xpn and bought the CD just to hear it again. The other 4 songs are a bonus - they were great too.

I just heard You're a Wolf on the radio. Wow, great song; catchy yet deep. Brings to mind Fastball & Toad the Wet Sprocket. Looking forward to hearing the rest.
