Death in the Business of Whaling

The album that has been on repeat this entire week has been Searow’s new Death in the Business of Whaling.. It’s such a deep, simple, but comprehensive collection of PNW emo melancholy indie for a cold weekend cuddled under the blankets.. And I truly love how much he can so successfully pull off his own Julien Baker/Phoebe Bridges style. I’ve written slightly about Searows before but it’s nice to devote a whole post to how solid this artistry is…
