ALBUM: Kevin Morby- Harlem River

Happy Monday everyone. Anyone familiar with lo-fi folk outfit Woods will recognise the reverb heavy acoustic sound from bassist Kevin Morby's solo album Harlem River. Unlike Woods however, is the dark atmospheric feel that runs through the album's title track.

Judging by the song's track length, you'd be forgiven for expecting a Velvet Underground style freak out jam. Instead Morby's unafraid to keep the song in one place; weaving between two chords, gently riding along with the sound of the river.

 

Harlem River is available on CD and LP from Wood's own label Woodsist.
