Red River Dialect: supporting Arbourtetum

Sunday 20 February 2011

supporting Arbourtetum - March 19th

When we open for Baltimore's Arbouretum in Penryn on March 19th we'll be looking and sounding quite different - it'll be our first show with a drummer, the mighty Hugh Cowling who has helped to open up a whole can of new songs which deliver their lights and darks at a vigorous pace. He's really freed Simon, Jack and I into new places and we can't wait for the unveiling.

Tickets are here

Arbouretum just dropped a new album by the name of 'The Gathering' - it's stunning, the video for 'Destroying to Save' is below, and it should give you every idea of why you would want to be there.

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.
