Death in the Business of Whaling is the second album from Searows—the project of Pacific Northwest singer-songwriter and guitarist Alec Duckart—via Last Recordings On Earth. Marking his first time recording outside the intimate confines of his bedroom, the record builds on the raw, confessional songwriting and spacious folk arrangements that earned his debut, Guard Dog, a devoted following. After early snippets spread organically across TikTok, Searows drew co-signs from artists like Ethel Cain and Gracie Abrams, whom he later supported on tour—momentum that informs an album that feels both expansive and deeply personal.
