In Anticipation For The New Album by Sea Wolf
Earlier in the summer, following the announcement of the release date of their sophomore album, Sea Wolf's "Stanislaus" was released to the internet. While the track was good, it didn't offer anything we hadn't heard from Sea Wolf before on the lovely 2007 album Leaves in the River.
Today, another new Sea Wolf track began to make the rounds on various blogs and while it is, without a doubt, Sea Wolf-esque, the song "Wicked Blood" might be the most upbeat song we've seen from frontman Alex Brown Church so far. It's accessible and catchy without being out of vein of the darker elements of Sea Wolf's previous release, the glossiness no doubt being helped along by producer Mike Mogis.
White Water, White Bloom will be released on Dangerbird Records September 22nd and Sea Wolf will hit Schuba's in support of the release on October 1st.

Ola Podrida Releases New Track
I discovered Ola Podrida when his fellow Texans, Okkervil River, began their Stand Ins project last year.
To commemorrate the release of their conceptual Stand Ins, Okkervil River had their musician pals cover each song on the album track by track and put the results up on youtube. Podrida tackled "Calling and Not Calling My Ex". While I was familiar with most of the artists Okkervil River included in this and was impressed with the results, particularly Bon Iver's take on "Blue Tulip", none of them struck me quite the way Podrida did, perhaps because I had no clue of his existence before his cover of "Calling and Not Calling My Ex".
