Dry The River announce debut album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 6 December 2011
Having just been announced as one of the fifteen bands on the BBC Sound Of 2012 longlist, Dry The River have also announced details of their debut album, ‘Shallow Bed’, which will be released by Sony/RCA/Victor on 5 Mar. They’ll also release a new single, ‘The Chambers & Valves’, on 27 Feb, and perform live at Electric Ballroom in London this Wednesday (9 Dec). Busy, Busy.
Says frontman Peter Liddle of the album: “We wanted to record the bulk of it to tape, to use analogue stuff in favour of computer wizardry where possible, but without it sounding like an old folk record. I think we tried to preserve the fragility and honesty of the more stripped down tracks, but still get the intensity of the live show across too – to marry those two aspects of our music without it sounding incongruous”.
The tracklisting of the album is as follows:
Animal Skins
New Ceremony
Shield Your Eyes
History Book
The Chambers & The Valves
Demons
Bible Belt
No Rest
Shaker Hymns
Weights & Measure
Lion’s Den
