River Spirit

River Spirit's latest, Me I Fall, came out at the end of January. There's lots of textural space in each song, allowing every guitar riff, vocal note, and drum pattern to shine, or to sigh, or to flutter, or flair. The rhythms might be R&B, but the guitars are funk, while the vocals are neo-soul and the time-signatures are adventurous, or even nervy, all too eager to make some sharp left turns or sudden jumps. Often, it is, if nothing else, an entrancing listen.
