Red River Dialect - Broken Stay Open Sky [CD]

The London-based, Cornwall-bred band brings a windswept energy and daylight to a contemplative, gorgeously rendered suite of songs about inhabiting the landscape, and our bodies, in joy and pain alike. Informed by songwriter David Morris's spiritual practice, and recorded largely live in the studio, this is the band's most ambitious and emotionally affecting work to date: atmospheric but deeply rooted, equally concerned with investigating the concrete and the cosmic, both quiet details of the everyday and looming matters of faith. "So damn pretty … Always but a squall away from breaking apart." - NPR Music   "Fuses folk-rock's past with its future. Red River Dialect is a language open to all." - The Quietus   "Brave and different." - Uncut   "Evocative songs of Cornish coastal contemplation." - MOJO   "Strangely life-affirming sorrow ... a tribute to the power of healing and reconciliation." - AllMusic
