Much like Iron & Wine, Bright Eyes, and similar indie outfits, Sea Wolf is the project name of a sole singer/songwriter who drafts in other musicians as the occasion warrants. That singer/songwriter is Alex Church, a California native who looks to local authors like John Steinbeck and Jack London (whose 1904 novel The Sea Wolf provided the band name) for inspiration. Emerging in 2007 with Leaves in the River, Church continued to hone his Americana-laced chamber folk-pop on subsequent efforts like Old World Romance (2012) and Through a Dark Wood (2020).
