The River - Vessels Into White Tides

Man, that first month of 2020 went quick. Back to the grind. So here's The River, a UK based doomish band with their new full length, Vessels Into White Tides. This is some laid back  doom, which is a genre I tend to be down with. You know what I'm talking about- sparse riffs, not much in the way of leads, real slow, kinda dreamy and atmospheric, that sort of thing. The kind of doom that you could drink tea to. In fact, let's call it "tea and a book on a rainy day" doom. That genre. Vessels do that sound quite well, in part because their singer has a voice that pulls you in while she drops melodies that play well against the landscape of the music. Even as the guitars have a sludgy, churning quality to them, her gentle singing keeps the music from ever feeling unfocused. Definitely a solid release. Vessels Into White Tides by The River
