Second show added due to popular demand! Searows makes his Australian debut in celebration of his new album, Death in the Business of Whaling.Searows, the project of Pacific Northwest singer-songwriter and guitarist Alec Duckart, makes music that engulfs you like a freezing wave, so totalising that you lose track of where you end and where the experience passing through you begins. Making his highly anticipated debut visit to Melbourne Recital Centre, Searows brings the Death in the Business of Whaling Tour to Australia in celebration of his second full-length album of the same name.
Riding an incredible trajectory from viral 2023 breakout track 'House Song', Duckart has been building something special. He has quickly gathered a cult following with his timeless, old-world sensibilities and sensitive lyricism with albums and EPs like 2022's Guard Dog, 2023's End of the World and 2024's flush establishing him as a compelling storyteller and leading him to share stages with Gracie Abrams and Ethel Cain.
His second album Death in the Business of Whaling breaches into newfound cinematic intensity, as a collection of songs that converge like weather systems over choppy grey waters. Working with co-producer Trevor Spencer (Father John Misty, Beach House, Mary Lattimore) to expand his creative vision, 'Whaling' is an arresting document of a young artist coming into his own, and a probing meditation on life, death, embodiment and the tangled threads that connect all three. Taking this album on the road is a cathartic process for both Searows and his audiences, bringing the most intimate form of his tracks to life on stage.
