Bible Belt by Dry The River

Just had a nice bit of serendipity. Came upon this new band 'Dry The River' on YouTube performing a song 'Bible Belt' live in a London park - just the four of them, acoustic. Click here to view.





It's quite a gem: airy folk vocals and strings, and meandering poetic words, deeply evocative. Am still working on figuring out what it's all about !



Clearly influenced by the Fleet Foxes, and not too far removed from Noah and the Whale. Very impressive musicianship, so expressive. And they look so folky too ! More info here:


And all because I was Googling 'prayers in the Bible' ....


PS Message to the guitarist: hope your arm gets better soon !
