The single is taken from their recently released 11-track debut album 'Shallow Bed', which was produced by Peter Katis (The National, Interpol) at his Connecticut home-studio during the summer of 2011 and is accompanied by a video filmed in L.A. by cult director Raul B. Fernandez whilst the band were on tour with Alabama Shakes.

This show follows their headline UK & IE tour in April and May, which includes a sold out show at the Electric Ballroom in London on May 2nd. 

Dry the River formed in spring 2009 and have lived together in the same shared house in Stratford east London since. Citing an esoteric list of influences - Leonard Cohen, At The Drive-In, Neil Young, Arlo Guthrie, Neutral Milk Hotel, Bruce Springsteen and Devendra Banhart – the band draw as much from their shared love of U.S. hardcore as they do from the classic songwriters they all admire.
