Rivers by Wildbirds & Peacedrums
Rivers combines the two limited edition vinyl only 12” EPs, Retina and Iris, which were released in May and June 2010 respectively.
The Retina half of the album comprises five colossal songs, stratospheric in scale and emotional scope. They were recorded in the Guðríðarkirkja church with the 12-strong Schola Cantorum Reykjavík Chamber Choir (who also featured on Björk’s Medulla album), with arrangements by Hildur Guðnadóttir.
Recorded in Reykjavík’s Greenhouse studios, the five songs that make up Iris are an oasis of introspection measured against Retina’s overwhelming torrent. The songs revolve around the uniquely resonant sound of the steel pan and hating vocals.
Features 'Peeling Off The Layers', the title music to Sky Atlantic drama Fortitude.
