First live show in a while, lots of new songs

On Friday July 24th Simon and I will be opening the Penryn leg of Arbouretum's UK tour, it's an exciting prospect made more so by the fact that we've drummed up a new(ish) sound in the time since our last show, and we'll be playing mostly new songs. It also feels like we are ready to do some recording, but I'm always saying that...

Awesome, well deserved David!!

12 string is baffling but I will get there one day. Any new work in the pipeline?

My daughter is hoping to start University at Falmouth this autumn - so we spent a week checking out Falmouth and were really surprised to see that a cool shop like Jam existed in Falmouth + gigs as good as the one at Miss Peapods last Friday! You sold me tickets for the show, but modestly didn't mention that you were in the support act! After the show, I said that Red River reminded me of Richmond Fontaine - and my daughter thought you were the better of the two bands! It was a great evening - my only complaint being the endless audience chatter during songs! Many thanks - and good luck - we want to buy your first album!

Hey brian, thanks for your kind words, we found the chatter hard too. If you email lonorecords@hotmail.co.uk we can put you and your daughter on the mailing list. We have a few more shows planned for the autumn with some amazing bands.

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.
