Exclusive video premiere of ‘10,000 Suns’ by Moonrivr, taken from the latest album, ‘Volume 1,’ out via Victory Pool.

Following the release of Moonrivr’s debut album, titled ‘Volume 1,’ the quartet of vocalist Gavin Gardiner (The Wooden Sky), guitarist “Champagne” James Robertson (Lindi Ortega), bassist Ben Whitely (The Weather Station), and percussionist Lyle Molzan (Kathleen Edwards) are releasing a video for their track, ‘10,000 Suns’.

“‘10,000 Suns’ addresses the weight of the past. How one can be crushed by shame, anger and regret. I’m not searching for answers within the song, but simply living in the present and looking towards love & forgiveness.”

Crafted with a Tascam 388 tape recorder, ‘Vol.1’ is representative of an idiosyncratic brand of exotic indie-folk, laced with sweetly reverberating slide guitars, wonky string synths, and nimble percussive environments that Rolling Stone DE said, “Sounds as if Buddy Holly and Chris Isaak made a record with Damien Jurado.”

Moonrivr’s knack for creating sonic worlds that are at once lightly trippy and wholly inviting means that, as much as Volume 1 draws on inspirations from decades past, it maintains a pleasing, distinctly out-of-time feel. The band’s album rollout included tracks like, ‘Midnight at the Garden Hotel,’ ‘Bachelor Nation,’ and ‘The Hypnotist,’ which all released alongside their own videos.
