Introducing: Still, Volume 1.

We're excited to announce the release date for our new instrumental album. We've been working with Integrity Music to produce the first album in their series of instrumentals, taking popular worship songs and reworking them in our style. The first album, Still - Volume 1, will be released on January 13th 2017. We can't wait for you to hear these songs!

Here's what Integrity say about the project:

"Integrity Music is excited to announce a new series of instrumental worship albums, each featuring the unique sound and aesthetic of a guest producer, beginning with Still Volume 1 and the critically acclaimed UK band Rivers & Robots.

Infusing modern worship songs with a vibrant, chilled aesthetic, Still delivers the perfect backdrop for moments of devotion, prayer and meditation for individuals and churches. From creating an atmosphere for soaking prayer to offering a sonic oasis during the rush hour commute, this series calls listeners to still their hearts before God. Recorded in various locations around the UK and mastered at the legendary Abbey Road studios, Still is emotive and reminiscent of a film score, combining strings, brass elements and electronic instrumentation. If you are a fan of Rivers & Robots, you will want to immediately add this to your collection. If you’re new to Rivers & Robots, this is a great introduction!"

Update: many of the lines from the song have already been taken. Your best bet at this stage is to pick one of the 'oh's or one of the many "lift up" and "my eyes" echoes. We'll release some lines again in a week if we don't get the videos in. Check back for updates!

New music from Rivers & Robots

After a successful Kickstarter campaign, and a few months of recording, mixing and mastering, we've put the finishing touches to the new Rivers & Robots album, The Eternal Son. It's going to be our first release on Vinyl, and we really went the extra mile in the recording process this time around. A highlight of ours was definitely spending a few days with our friend Jonny Bird in Martin Smith's studio, recording electric guitars. Jonny helped us to get the best tones out of the the parts we played, and we're really with how it's come out.

Take a look at the trailer for the album, which will be released this month on the 20th May.

We also released the first single from the album, called Wait For You. Which is available to stream via soundcloud.

We'll be sharing some more about the album soon, but in the meantime, help us spread the word about the upcoming release! The album is also available to pre-order on digital, CD or Vinyl from our bandcamp page.
