AQUA

Wild Rivers, the group effort fusing indie, pop and folk released their full length album “Sidelines” on Friday. Sonically oceanic, the album washes over us with a soulful riptide, while melancholy chords and emotive vocals project a vastness and detail the uncertainty of tomorrow. An album for a drive, or a jog…Wild Rivers lets loose.
