Review: Wild Rivers – Sidelines

The sophomore effort from Wild Rivers is called Sidelines and plays out like a coming-of-age story of learning about the key parts of the relationships we make along the way. The record was co-produced by the band and Peter Katis (The National, Interpol), and Wild Rivers appear to be get their footing pretty well in their songwriting craft. Led by the lead single, “Long Time,” a dreamy piano-laced duet that puts the pain of a break-up in the direct cross-hairs of the material, and yet the band continues to march forward in the hopes of better days ahead. This ten-song album plays out majestically as it captures the spirit of three musicians knowing their strengths, and still packs plenty of emotion throughout each of the tracks.
