Death in the Business of Whaling

On his sophomore album 'Death in the Business of Whaling', Searows expands upon his indie-folk origins, embracing grander, more immersive soundscapes with influences from shoegaze and gothic-folk. Working with producer Trevor Spencer, Alec Duckart's songwriting, which explores themes of grief and loss through literary metaphors, is enveloped in dense, atmospheric arrangements featuring reverb-heavy guitars and banjo. This shift toward a more ambitious and emotionally rich sound marks a confident evolution, establishing a grander, more theatrical chapter for the artist.
