Sea Wolf is back with new music. The longtime project of Los Angeles songwriter Alex Brown Church has released “Stroke Of Nine,” marking his first new material since the 2021 deluxe edition of Through A Dark Wood.
Self-produced by Church and mixed by Mike Mogis (Phoebe Bridgers), the new track blends moody melodies, driving instrumentation, and the atmospheric indie rock sound that has become a Sea Wolf trademark. The song explores the complicated emotions of a budding romance, particularly the tension between enjoying independence and taking a chance on someone new.
“There’s a tension there, in wanting to hold your ground, yet feeling the lure of a new, potentially special person,” Church explains.
The release arrives alongside an accompanying music video, giving fans a visual introduction to this latest chapter.
For nearly two decades, Sea Wolf has built a distinctive catalog of thoughtful songwriting, folk-inspired intimacy, and expansive indie rock. With vivid storytelling and richly textured arrangements, Church has consistently created music that feels both personal and cinematic.
