Rivers is the mesmerising third album by Swedens Wildbirds & Peacedrums, combining the two limited edition vinyl only 12 EPs, Retina and Iris, which were released in May and June 2010 respectively.
Characteristically, Wildbirds emphasise instinct, emotional rawness and purity of expression over perfection. The whole album was recorded and mixed in ReykjavÌk in a single week, and retains an intentionally spontaneous, live feel. A new sense of restraint and control is apparent, compared to Wildbirds previous albums (2008s Heartcore and 2009s The Snake) and their blistering live shows, consciously bringing Mariam Wallentins lyrical concerns into clearer focus. While the two EPs are sonically quite distinct, they complement each other with unifying themes of reflection, light and water. Heard in the context of the album, the new songs are revealed as an extraordinary body of work.
Released on vinyl for the first time in 2015, as part of the Leaf 20 celebrations.
