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.”
