Dry the River
Dry the River will release their second album, Alarms in the Heart, through Transgressive Records on Mon 25th August 2014. To celebrate, the band have announced a long-awaited UK headline tour, calling at Birmingham’s The Institute on Fri 10th October. The dates follow a number of festival shows over the summer, including appearances at Glastonbury and the Main Stage at Reading and Leeds.
Produced by Charlie Hugall (Florence and The Machine, Ed Sheeran), Paul Savage (Mogwai, Franz Ferdinand) and Peter Miles (We Are The Ocean, Futures, The King Blues) and with arrangements and strings from Valgeir Sigurðsson (Sigur Rós, Björk), the resulting 10-track album is bold, expansive, confident and cohesive – an undeniable step up in both diversity and volume from their critically acclaimed debut.
The first track from the album to be unveiled, ‘Gethsemane’, uncovers the spiritual heart of the record, delivering a Buckley-esque narrative: “Excavating down you’d find the drowning and the drowned / And then there’s us, babe.”
The band’s past two Birmingham dates have both sold out, so make sure you pick up your tickets asap!
