Lion's Den 12:28<br><br><br><br><br>Release Notes:<br><br>Who wants to be in a guitar band with the pressure of rescuing an apparently<br>fading genre? Well Dry the River do, and their intention is clear. Bearing<br>tattoos and professing to a love of US hardcore, the London-based five-piece<br>have been up for the scrap since 2011s well-received Weights and Measures EP<br>and tore up last years SXSW festival. Now, having made the BBC Sound of 2012<br>list, theyll be looking to emulate the success of the Sound of 2011s<br>breakthrough guitar sorts, The Vaccines<br><br>Dry the River developed from singer Peter Liddles acoustic solo tour in 2009<br>after which accrued members, and now flatmates, convinced him to take his folk<br>tunes in a heavier direction. It was a good idea, and successful enough to<br>attract the interest of The National/Interpol producer Peter Katis to oversee<br>this debut<br><br>And it works at least once the listener is clear of dull opener Animal Skins<br>If it was to be bracketed as a calling card effort, itd be one that barely<br>makes the wallet, its makers sounding twice their ages and uncomfortable with<br>the burden of youth. But true form is found on the single New Ceremony: a belter<br>of a tune, it comes complete with a heart-warming chorus<br><br>Much of this bands recent promotion has focused on acoustic performances, and<br>the full-blooded versions of their songs here may wrong-foot those expecting<br>such gentleness. Channelling the energy of bands such as At the Drive-In and<br>Grinderman, both History Book and the string-laden The Chambers & The Valves<br>demonstrate the success of mining folk roots while the guitars are turned up to<br>10. Bible Belt earnestly devours classic Americana literature and hardship: "Lo<br>and behold your mother is drinking again / This might be the coldest winter<br>since records began." Importantly, Liddles last-to-leave-the-school-choir<br>vocals provide an otherworldliness which offsets these songs gritty realism to<br>great effect<br><br>Although the band will be encouraged by the recent success of The Horrors and<br>The Maccabees, both of whom have embraced electronics with devastating success<br>this is a direction Dry the River won't be taking any time soon. Their eagerness<br>to record using analogue equipment can be heard throughout this set its a<br>wonder they werent mixed using steam-powered desks while mobile phones were<br>banned from the premises<br><br>Shallow Bed is a brave start for this long-hyped but still young band. Although<br>at times the tunes and excitement commonly associated with a debut album can<br>become lost in painful pursuit of authenticity, this is a surefooted and<br>uncompromising collection<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold; color: Red;">BBC Sound of 2012</span><br><br><a href="http://115.com/file/beslcsi1#">http://115.com/file/beslcsi1#</a><br> <br><br>
