Rivers Of England - Of Trivial & Gargantuan

The debut album from this exciting Bath-based band that uses a warm mix of instrumentation to explore themes on a micro and the macro level. Original yet familiar sounding with occasional echoes of John Martyn and even Nick Drake, Rivers Of England's lush string and Hammond/Rhodes based sound delivers foot-tapping ear candy aplenty with a spine-tingling powerful vocal on top. The surprises keep coming, not least, supporting The Fall, amusing hospital visits on tour and a regular soundtrack for operating theatre.
