Dry the River - Shallow Bed

Review by Christian Cottingham

Too precise, too ordered to fully lift, and, unlike the band’s live shows, too damn earnest. But give Dry the River time, some Nietzsche and a few more months cabin-fevered together in their East London house and hopefully they’ll start to bite a little harder»

rollfold limited edition digipack. dry the river release debut album 'shallow bed' through rca victor. the 11-track album was produced by peter katis (the national / interpol) at his connecticut home-studio during the summer of 2011. a disparate bunch - from singer-songwriter peter liddle, drawing narrative inspiration from university studies in medicine and anthropology, to once homeless punk-rock drummer jon warren and classically trained violinist william harvey, the band grew from the haphazard seeds of varied personal and musical upbringings taking inspiration from neil young to arlo guthrie to neutral milk hotel via bruce springsteen and devendra banhart.
