L'artiste britannique propose une incursion en territoires ambient exploratoire où l'instrumentation acoustique rencontre de vaporeuses nappes sonores synthétiques. L'ambiance onirique qui émane de ce titre aux qualités quasi méditatives invite à la contemplation. Une création à la fois apaisante et légèrement sombre. 〰 The British artist offers an incursion into exploratory ambient territory, where acoustic instrumentation meets vaporous synthetic layers of sound. The dreamlike ambience emanating from this track with its quasi-meditative qualities invites contemplation. A soothing yet slightly dark creation.

REVIEWS
Ohestee:
A dissonance reverberates throughout like a calm river – tranquil, but with an opposing dormant force that rests with a somnolent fever. 

Sound of Aarhus:
IF you like alternative music such as Sun Kil Moon, Jose Gonzales or Bon Iver, you’re attention is needed here.

Nordic Music Review:
This is an artist we have not given enough attention to over the last 3 years.  Sometimes so much is thrown in our direction that we don't have time to stop, think and appreciate, and 'Calming River' is a songwriter that you just need to find that quiet 10 minutes to consider and enjoy. 

Overblown:
Captivating and possessing significant emotional heft.

We Love That Sound:
He plays guitar so incredibly well.

Destroy Exist
Indeed calming and indubitably enchanting.
