Vinyl Records London are on cloud nine, we are now spinning in a brand new copy in Heavyweight LP from Black Rivers As twothirds of Manchesterrsquos Doves, the Williams brothers Jez and Andy achieved major success. Following a break after Kingdom of Rust in 2009, guitarist Jez and drummer Andy gradually found themselves making music together once again and launched their new band Black Rivers.The guys decamped to a remote cottage in Anglesey last winter in order to write and record new material. Sharing vocal duties, they boosted their sound with Jez playing bass and keyboards, and Andy contributing piano in addition to their regular instruments. The album is self produced and primarily mixed by Claudius Mittendorfer Johnny Marr, Interpol, Muse, Temples. ldquoSome bands are rooted in the reality of the here and now,rdquo says Jez. ldquoI suppose wersquove always been about escapism searching for something. Thatrsquos the link, but I wouldnrsquot want to think we sound too much like Doves. The exciting thing about Black Rivers is that we had the freedom to go wherever we wanted.rdquoThe eagerlyanticipated selftitled debut album is out now and includesnbspThe Ship, Voyager 1 and The Forest.Heavyweight LP 180 gsmnbspincluding CD of the albumnbsp
