Distant Man download

Here is our song Distant Man, available for free download. It is a demo of sorts, but there have been some very kind words from the good people at Microphones in the Trees and Beggin' Your Pardon Miss Joan (whose myspace page is a very worthwhile adventure away from these narrow trails), which inspired me to allow this song to circulate a little more freely and perhaps be listened to away from these endless screens.

Nice one, David! I really like the moody right-side guitar...this song provided the perfect accompaniment to this overcast and chilly Monday afternoon.

Press & Reviews

“fervid three-guitar + fiddle workouts. You could place them as an Anglo-celt analogue to folk-rock churners like Arbouretum and, especially, PG Six, though there’s something of The Waterboys circa “A Pagan Place” in there, too.” John Mulvey, UNCUT

“Red River Dialect are interesting in that they appear to fuse this traditional strain of inclusive, rabble-rousing folk rock with more adventurous, psychedelic influences that place them right at the genre's cutting edge… (they) are obviously neither bandwagon-jumping dilettantes nor finger-in-the-ear luddites, but experienced musicians and long-term enthusiasts whose fusion of styles is always in service of the song…

Awellupontheway fuses folk-rock's past with its future, carrying forward the energy, urgency and melody that has long served the form well, and merging it with the more experimental, avant-garde approach of some of our most exciting guitar bands… Red River Dialect is a language open to all.” The Quietus

“Morris’s songs, eight of them here, take the lilt and roll of British sea chanties and blow them into amplified, feedback-droning, violin squalling anthems. This is, no kidding, one of the best folk-derived, psych-filtered rock albums of 2012, a great hoary rampaging beast of a record that rakes bloody, violent claws through the symmetries of traditional folk.” Jennifer Kelly, Dusted Magazine.
