RIVER TIBER, The Star Falls (EP)
RIVER TIBER, “The City” (Kwik Fiks remix)
I’ve been writing for close to two years now about the amazing alternative electronica pop/rock music released independently by Toronto’s River Tiber, which is a live, functioning, and very tight band, but otherwise a studio project for ace multi-talent Tommy Paxton-Beesley. A review of “The City” by SPIN Magazine this past summer signals some great things about to happen. So on deck tomorrow on iTunes we have a new EP focusing around “The Star Falls”, a song from the earlier Synapses free album release (now pulled off the market I’m afraid – some things you’ve just gotta get when you have the chance – but I think a re-release is in store 😀 ). Watch the video below which was released earlier this year. The EP will feature two unreleased songs, “California” and “North”, which naturally is very appealing to me 🙂 as well as “The City” and “What Are You Afraid Of”, also both previously on Synapses.
Also focusing on the diversity of the music of River Tiber, Tommy’s pal DJ/producer Kwik Fiks has transformed “The City” from being a mini-odyssey lost in the beauty of a big city, and into a seriously catchy and house-y club affair. Dance mavens and DJ’s will love this one as it stands out well on its own without taking anything away from the original. Big bonus: Download it for free below.
And I won’t finish up here without posting the stunning video for “The City” which captures the essence of the song. “The City” was #1 for a month on my personal chart this past February.
River Tiber plays a release party for The Star Falls on Thursday, November 21 at the Drake Hotel in Toronto.
