Биография

Hamburg-based, California-bred road-tripping duo RIVER wittily turn a broken heart into a chance of renewal. Pushed by powerful beats, retro synthies and euphoric arrangements, this is not only a soaring, cinematic debut by indie pop’s latest discovery, it’s also a manifesto of not letting yourself get dragged down only because life doesn’t play by your rules. What’s new about the music of this remarkable duo is not only their cinematic sense of arranging their songs into these cascading, monumentally swelling moments that make you wanna cry, laugh, dance and hug people at the same time; it’s mainly their ability to let hope shine through melancholy and sadness echo through an upbeat, spirited pop song.
