Album of the Day: Sea Wolf - Leaves In The River

As Sea Wolf are gearing up to release a new album this September, let's revisit their 2007 album Leaves In The River. "Neutral Ground" and "Leaves In The River", the album's two softer songs/ballads are absolutely smashing (or I'm a sucker for melancholy, which is probably true). But there are a couple of currents running through this album, ranging from straight up indie rock through folk to an sea shanty-feeling with hints of haunting. They bear exploring.
