Session: Black Rivers perform 'The Forest'

The former Doves play acoustic version live for Gigwise

 

As Andy and Jez Williams (formerly of Doves, now firmly rooted in Black Rivers) gear up towards the release of their self titled debut album, they have recorded a special acoustic take on 'The Forest'.

Following their live debut as Hackney's Oslo, we invited the band to perform at our local pub, The Fox. What resulted proved that Andy and Jez have taken what they learned in Doves, and planted it into a new and very exciting place.  

Speaking about the song, they told us, "It has a psychedelic feel to it. We're trying to paint pictures with the lyrics, and just give you the feeling about place, and just trying to imagine where you are."

You can catch Black Rivers supporting Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds in March.
