Where have the Rivers been all my life? Crikey Moses,
what have I been missing out on? This is well and
truly up my alley. Instant thoughts are BoyKillBoy
meets The Cinematics, but then when the vocals kick
in I'm thinking more The Kooks. But don't roll your
eyes and tut, this would be a very good Kooks. (And
to be fair their new single is really good.) In
fact, remember when the Kooks came out, with "You
Don't Love Me," and everyone creamed their
pants, and then their less rocky stuff emerged and
people got a bit bored of things sounding the same.
Well, this is the beginning of something beautiful,
I just hope The Rivers can stay at this level. It's
your standard linear indie tune, but there's something
about it, oof, I love it.
The b-side is an acoustic version of "A Seaside
Affair." As acoustic music goes, it's not
fantastic. But then there are artists dedicating
themselves to that sound. As far s an indie band
doing an acoustic song goes, it's your predictable
little number, you know. But it isn't bad. However,
I'm pleased to say that for the first time in
quite a while, an awesome single has not been
overshadowed by an even better b-side.
5/5
