Heartfelt vocals and darkened guitars combine to form Riverine, the new ethereal shoegazer masterwork from Autumn’s Grey Solace. Erin Welton’s mystical voice and Scott Ferrell’s innovative guitar experimentation remain consistent with their past two releases. While continuing to move their sonic artwork forward on these beautifully maudlin compositions, Riverine captures Autumn’s Grey Solace in their evolution towards a darker sound.

The euphonic colors of Riverine create an entrancing atmosphere of sentimental vocals and dramatic guitar soundscapes. The ambient swells of guitar and ghostly background voices form a fitting backdrop for the sensitive lyrics. Erin’s emotional voice blends seamlessly with the melancholy chord progressions of heavily effected guitars. Beneath the gothic hues, the driving electric bass lines reveal lineage of the early 4AD sound. The reverb drenched drums drive the passionate compositions with emotive intensity.
