Description:
"Perhaps the greatest compliment that can be paid to Remember The River is that while its Americana/alt country credentials stand comparison with Uncle Tupelo, The Jayhawks et al it reaches even further back. Halfway, Australias premier alt country outfit, have, in their follow up to the marvellous Farewell To The Fainthearted - a hard act to follow - rekindled memories of Fables/Reckoning/Green REM. The band shows the same freedom of spirit, subtle shades and infinite possibilities that Athens finest did in their young artistic heyday. To categorise Remember The River is to miss the point, the album doesnt cross genres it ignores them. While Remember The River certainly owes allegiance to alt country, with its hooky melodies and catchy riffs, its not defined by it. The superbly intelligent lyrics delivered by co-vocalists Johnny Busby and Chris Dale take the bands music into college rock, as much as it does country, alt or otherwise." -- Michael Mee, NET RHYTHMS (Laughing Outlaw)
