Rough River - The Leaving
Review by Luke Kirk
The Leaving by Rough River is a captivating album that showcases the band's unique sound and storytelling abilities. The album features ten tracks that explore themes of love, loss, and the complexities of human relationships.
From the opening track "The Leaving" to the closing song "All I Need", Rough River takes listeners on a journey through different emotions and experiences. The band's use of acoustic guitars, electric guitars, and drums creates a dynamic and engaging sound that draws the listener in.
One standout track on the album is "Broken Dreams", which features haunting vocals and a melancholic melody that perfectly captures the pain of lost love. Another notable track is "Fading Away", which showcases the band's ability to create a sense of urgency and intensity in their music.
