Love, Fear and the Time Machine

Riverside

A pivot toward warmth and melody. Shimmering guitars and prominent bass lines create a nostalgic, sun-drenched take on modern progressive rock.

It's like Pink Floyd and The Cure had a baby in a Polish forest during sunset.

A warm, nostalgic embrace that looks toward the future with hard-won optimism.

Found (The Unexpected Flaw of Searching)

Moments Worth Waiting For
The soaring, optimistic guitar solo that closes Found (The Unexpected Flaw of Searching) providing a rare moment of pure resolution.
The driving, melodic bass line in Under the Pillow that carries the song with more authority than the guitars.
The transition into the atmospheric, Floydian bridge of Towards the Blue Horizon where the drums drop into a deep, steady pocket.
