From London comes my new favourite indie band of the moment: Dry The River. I like to think of these chamber pop stars as a grown-up One Republic with just a touch of Mumford & Sons. Perfect. I first found them through rcrd lbl, with the King James Remix of their "Demons," and then had to go hunting for the original. It's a very sweet love song, beautifully crafted with some stunning lyrical work: the north isn't true til it's leading me to you. "Demons" may be a slow wedding song, but it's brilliant. Any indie fan is going to get right into this.
The remix is something a little different. King James, whoever he may be, leaves the general structure of the song intact but takes it from wedding song territory (not that there's anything wrong with that) and to a watery land where everything has an echo. It's a little danceable once the beats kick up, I'll give it that, but still retains that sweet and delicate feel. Both versions are something special in their own right, worthy of a good listen and perhaps even a download.
