Recorded in rural Southwest Wales shortly before songwriter and singer David Morris moved to a remote Buddhist monastery in Nova Scotia, Red River Dialect’s fifth album captures the British folk-rock band finding fresh joy in their music, relaxing more deeply into a natural, playful confidence: tangling with the thickets, wading in the river, digging the peat, and disappearing into the mountains. Featuring Joan Shelley and Tara Jane O’Neil.
RIYL Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Magnolia Electric Co., Talk Talk, Patti Smith, Fairport Convention, PJ Harvey, Mighty Baby, Low, Jackie Leven, Tindersticks, James Elkington, Steve Gunn, The Weather Station.
The band stretches out a rhapsodic melody like a ribbon chasing the wind. – NPR
Thoughtful compositions that mix straightforward observation with naturalistic imagery and philosophical inquiry. – Uncut
Beatific [but] thrillingly combustible. Morris’s earnest tones crack with loss. A rare British treasure. – MOJO
Frenzied and fantastic… a radical, thundering realm [of[ sweeping, massive songs that incorporate old world folk and the tension of noise and drone music with equal force. – UPROXX
An album of breathtakingly rare beauty. A classic in every sense. – Echoes and Dust
Brimming with glorious dizzying energy and tension, primitive and cut loose from modern constraints. Impossible to resist. – Folk Radio UK
