Sean Rowe
Sean Rowe’s first album, Magic, was a self-‐produced, low-‐budget introduction to his talents. Now, with the release of The Salesman and the Shark, we see an artist truly coming into his own. Recorded with amble budget and time Rowe has created something he has always envisioned. The Salesman and the Shark is a beautifully arranged album. Rowe’s deep, soothing voice paired with his sensual and tuneful guitar make for an incredible, yet introspective album.
The Salesman and the Shark also breaks from Rowe’s previous mold with several ambitious efforts – see the thundering churn of “Horses” which channels Desire era Dylan; also the beautifully haunting singing in the duet “Old Shoes” where Rowe harmonizes with Inara George over an almost unbearably lovely melody. The Salesman and the Shark will establish Rowe as an artist to be reckoned with. At its center is Rowe’s astonishing voice, the instrument that has already earned him comparisons to masters from Van Morrison to Leonard Cohen. The Salesman and the Shark is an album made the old way, with a range of writing styles that showcase Rowe’s intensely spiritual interaction with the modern world, and is sure to seal his reputation as a singer and writer for his generation.
"One listen to his voice shows why he has a buzz around him. Rowe sings in a dark-brewed baritone, deep, rich and sturdy... As the lyrics speak of leaving the skin and becoming the spirit, the music evaporates into a mist. But no matter how remote and spare it seems, in Rowe's hands it all feels close and full." - Daily News
"Distinctive, honest...soulful, moving" - The Huffington Post
