RIVERHART
http://www.riverhart.com

Riverhart is Alexander Gill, much more than a traditional singer songwriter, but an alluring troubadour entwining the ambient dream-pop landscapes of contemporaries such as Beach House, and the time-honoured influence of British institutions The Smiths, with the more visceral folk visions akin to Nick Drake & Neil Young.

He began writing on Christmas Day. Harbouring ambitions of genuine connection by virtue of music, he aims to create an expansive narrative in his songs of life, and in the process relinquish the solemn mundane reality of middle-class youth.

Steering clear of commonplace subject matter, "I always wanted to write a love song but never about a person, more about a place," he says; from the beginning Riverhart always had an alternative way of telling a story.

Under the guidance of producer James Ewers, he has worked tirelessly to create a slice of introductory triumph in the 'Ghost Dance EP', which he has begun to tentatively cast out into the world.

Ghost Dance EP is released on Mon 28th November.
