Released in conjunction with their second longplayer »We Built a Fire«, this EP brings us six exclusive tracks from this band, that started as 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 Indierock to intense balladry, »While The Fire Dies« focusses more on the band's folky and laid-back side. The countryesque 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.
