Release Notes:
Singer Fyfe Dangerfield calls Guillemots' third album "music to be
heard across the night sky", which captures precisely its expansive
beauty. Having got a yen for sparser songs out of his system with last
year's solo album, he's returned with a zeal for large-scale emotion,
and Walk the River is laden with it. It abounds in dramatic
word-pictures, possibly pertaining to the end of the romance with the
woman who inspired his solo LP ("Walk the river like a hunted animal",
"When I see it I hear crashing drums") and sky-high choruses, arranged
into some of the most sumptuous songs Guillemots have ever created.
This is a group who don't believe in understatement, so there's a lot
going on, from the fuzzy guitar and spacey synth squeaks that take The
Basket in a psychedelic direction to Tiger's girl-group harmonies, but
none of it feels superfluous û every sound here contributes to a big,
beautiful whole.
