Seewolf's cinematic indie rock is a big and beautiful hymn to the Frisian landscape. The moving result of the wild interaction between the inner and outer world. The eternal wind, the water pounding on the coast, the mighty dikes, the lighthouse shining over the vast land and time moving just a little slower there. The debut album 'A Bounce Of Grace' oozes that same openness, on which four inspired musicians push each other in the spirit of bands like Motorpsycho, The Veils and The Doors. Songs that stand firmly with their feet in the Frisian clay. The same clay that sticks to the band members' shoes and that they take everywhere with them in their old van, in which they drive to new horizons.

The band is always on its way to new adventures, previously during Popronde, at Eurosonic or as a support act for Still Corners and New Model Army. But it all starts on the outskirts of the Netherlands, where the group retreats from the busy society and forgets time for a moment, as they slowly disappear into their music. Along with their fifth band member, an old tape machine from San Francisco's Wally Heider Recording Studio, with which icons such as Tom Waits, Van Morrison and Neil Young recorded. Tuning, repairing and reviving this machine is an indispensable part of the ongoing search for why that music of the sixties and seventies sounds so timeless. Their love and passion for this recording technique can be heard on Seewolf’s characteristic debut album. On which that cold northern wind finally resonates with the warm sound of an analog tape sound.


Seewolfs filmiske indie rock er en stor og smuk hymne til det frisiske landskab. Det bevægende resultat af det vilde samspil mellem den indre og den ydre verden. Den evige vind, vandet der hamrer mod kysten, de mægtige diger, fyrtårnet der lyser over det vidtstrakte land, og tiden der bevæger sig en smule langsommere derude. Debutalbummet ‘A Bounce Of Grace’ emmer af den samme åbenhed, hvor fire inspirerede musikere skubber hinanden frem i ånden fra bands som Motorpsycho, The Veils og The Doors. Sange der står solidt plantet med fødderne i den frisiske lerjord. Den samme jord, der klæber til bandmedlemmernes sko, og som de tager med sig overalt i deres gamle varevogn, når de kører mod nye horisonter.

Bandet er altid på vej mod nye eventyr, tidligere under Popronde, på Eurosonic eller som support for Still Corners og New Model Army. Men det hele begynder i udkanten af Holland, hvor gruppen trækker sig tilbage fra det travle samfund og glemmer tiden et øjeblik, mens de langsomt forsvinder ind i deres musik. Sammen med deres femte bandmedlem: en gammel båndmaskine fra San Franciscos Wally Heider Recording Studio, hvor ikoner som Tom Waits, Van Morrison og Neil Young har indspillet. At stemme, reparere og genoplive denne maskine er en uundværlig del af den vedvarende søgen efter, hvorfor musikken fra 60’erne og 70’erne lyder så tidløs. Deres kærlighed og passion for denne optageteknik kan høres på Seewolfs karakteristiske debutalbum, hvor den kolde nordenvind endelig klinger sammen med den varme lyd af analog båndoptagelse.
