2010, Sound of a Handshake
VINYL FORMAT. Released in conjunction with their second album We Built a Fire (MORR 097CD/CD-LTD/LP), While the Fire Dies EP brings you the vinyl version of the six tracks that are on CD2 of the limited 2CD version of the We Built A Fire album (MORR 097CD-LTD). Seabear started as the solo-project of Sindri Már Sigfússon (aka Sin Fang Bous) and meanwhile has become a creative collective of seven Icelandic musicians. While the album showcases Seabear's wide range of styles and influences from indie-rock to intense balladry, the While the Fire Dies EP focuses more on the band's folky and laid-back side. The country-esque uptempo opener "Pocket Knife" is followed by alternate acoustic versions of the Seabear classics "Arms" and "Singing Arc" as well as the perfect Seabear-ballad "Bright House." After a short country twang interlude ("Leafmask II"), this EP ends with "Doctor," a string-dominated elegy and a perfect epilogue to both: album and EP.
