Filmed at the end of last year in November 4, 2014 , British alternative-folk rock band, Dry The River, performed live at Brighton Music Hall in Boston. this track  “Hidden Hand” is from Dry The River’s second album, “Alarms in the Heart”, released late last year on Transgressive Records.  

'Alarms In The Heart'

Switching labels seems to have refreshed Dry The RiverNow at home on Transgressive, the band’s new material contains some of their most ambitious moments to date. Their songs are like mini epics rising and falling with Peter Liddle’s  atomospheric vocals with ably supported harmonies within the band. ‘Alarms In The Heart’ released last August , with Valgeir Sigurðsson stepping in for the lavish string arrangements.  In a rare double treat for fans, Dry The River have posted ‘Alarms In The Heart’ online in its entirety alongside a video shot in Iceland during those fateful recording sessions exploring the bands creative process.

 After their second album release UK indie rock band  Dry the River  are touring the UK with the new album, “Alarms in the Heart”, came out in the mid summer of last year, Jake Dypka’s  has filmed a short 10 minute documentary of the weird and wonderful time making the new record in Iceland.
Its a brilliant video. Really captures how much effort the band have put into this record. I’m sure the end result will be an astonishing follow-up to Shallow Bed. I love that the band showed us what the creative process was like, the beautiful and challenging parts of it, captured in such mesmerizing places.
Really interesting to hear the behind the scenes efforts that’s gone into the album, so excited to hear it! Especially love the sound of the song at the end!.
Leading up to the album’s release, the group has made available a gorgeously shot making-of mini documentary that covers the band’s recording of the LP. Particularly stunning are the pristine vistas of Iceland, where Dry the River recorded much of the LP.

Peter Liddle, the band’s lead singer and guitarist, talks more about the recording of “Alarms in the Heart”: “Recording in Iceland was about shutting ourselves off from our daily lives and our heavy touring schedule to rediscover what Dry the River as a band means to us. We suspected it would be some kind of otherworldly experience, and it was: beautiful and alien, lonely and taxing but ultimately rewarding. The end product,Alarms in the Heart, is so heavily engrained with that process, that strange location and the experience of being there, that you have to take the two together. We took our old friend Jake Dypka to open a window on to the story, and this ten minute documentary is the result.”

Official music video for Dry the River ‘Rollerskate’ from ‘Alarms in the Heart’ out now. The Band will tour the UK shortly before they head out to Texas for the “South By Southwest Festival”, and have also shared a video for the ‘Alarms In The Heart‘ cut ‘Rollerskate‘ . The video was filmed live in London recently and is thus fittingly unveiled along with a new round of dates which open up in Wakefield on February 19th. Later, a closing gig is due at the Arts Centre in Norwich on March 4th, a week or so before they catch a plane to Austin.
