Rivergazer is the musical project of of London-born, New York-bred songwriter, Kevin Farrant. Since 2011 he has quietly self-released music and played in a variety of bands including guitar with childhood friend Aaron Maines’ Porches. (Domino Records). On Random Nostalgia, Rivergazer’s first full-length studio album, Farrant teamed up with producer Hunter Davidsohn and longtime friend and multi-instrumentalist, Kolson Pickard to achieve a bigger conceptual sound.
The album tells a tale of modern sadness -- growing up in the suburbs, getting married and divorced, having no money, being in debt, driving mom’s car, friends, isolation, wanting a dog, finding zen, and making memories. Rivergazer has crafted an album that is both thematically relatable and sonically familiar, residing at the intersection of nostalgia and now.
