Guard Dog

The debut album from Alec Duckart's project, Searows, is a work of spare, emotional intensity that gained significant grassroots attention. Written and recorded primarily in his Portland bedroom, 'Guard Dog' features delicate, fingerpicked acoustic guitar and layered, hushed vocals that build into quietly powerful harmonies. The lyrics confront difficult themes of mental health, alienation, and queer identity with a raw vulnerability and poetic grace.
