The news follows the band’s recent performances on Joe Bonamassa’s Keeping The Blues Alive Seat Mediterranean Cruise which saw When Rivers Meet perform alongside big name acts including Joe Bonamassa, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Blackberry Smoke, and Grammy Award winner Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, plus their standout performance at Steelhouse Festival in Wales. Metal Talk says about the new album, “Aces Are High is likely to be the album that powers When Rivers Meet to the next level,” while Vive Le Rock says, “From the opening punch of ‘Infected’ through to the title track, this is by far the hardest When Rivers Meet have rocked out, and I’m all for it when it produces fist in the air bangers like the punky ‘Perfect Stranger’.” The new album features the singles “Play My Game,” “Perfect Stranger,” “Seen It All Before,” and the current single, “Infected.” “Infected was the first song we wrote for our new album Aces Are High, says lead singer, mandolin and violinist, Grace Bond. “We brought in fuzz guitar tones to the album and wanted Infected, the opening track to be an indicator as to where the album is going to take you.” Adds guitarist Aaron Bond, “We strongly believe that it is commonplace to put boundaries and limitations on yourself before you’ve even allowed yourself to dream, It’s the plague of man. We wanted the choruses to be psychedelic and swamp the listener in harmony, to give the impression of the subconscious conditioning that’s happening all the time.” “We’ve always stuck to a certain structure to create our songs, says WRMs vocalist, mandolin and violin player, Grace Bond, “but with this song we removed any limitations, and we consider it to be a really unique song for our repertoire and from the new album, Aces Are High.” Add’s WRMs guitarist Aaron Bond, “Fundamentally we consider ourselves a duo, and even though this song has percussion, it features a strong guitar line and vocal hook, which alongside fully produced songs keep us rooted as a duo.” The previous single, “Perfect Stranger,” is about how husband and wife duo Aaron and Grace Bond first met. Says Grace, “Our relationship is intense and creative. We wanted to write a song that reflects that tension throughout.” The music video reflects the passion and drive of When Rivers Meet. The first single taken from the album, “Play My Game,” is a groove-laden, driving blues track with rich riffs and searing vocals. It’s a bold statement of intent with a badass video to boot, capturing a poker game gone south leading to a high-speed car chase and daring aeroplane escape. Regarding the new album “Aces Are High,” the duo says, “As our music is progressing, we’re finding our sound even more. When we went in the studio this time, we’ve never been so sure on what we wanted to create—we had a really clear vision and have stuck to it.” “Before we held back on being too rocky, but this time we allowed ourselves to create what we wanted to hear, without restricting ourselves. We also allowed ourselves to express the different colours to our music with tracks like “Golden” and “By Your Side,” so this album has more extremes. We still call upon our influences from all the years but remain true to ourselves to create music we love.” “Another classy release, as might be expected, from one of the UK’s most exciting and creative bands.” – Record Collector “Aces and stakes are high here… this is a royal flush.” – Powerplay, Rating: 10/10 “Essex blues rock duo slam back in fuzz-tone triumph!” – Vive Le Rock “When Rivers Meet are a true phenomenon.” – Metal Talk “I have been entranced by When Rivers Meet’s previous output and ‘Aces Are High’ is no different.” – Music News, Rating: 5 Stars Artist When Rivers Meet Genre Blues Label One Road Records Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Infected; Seen It All Before Play My Game Golden Aces Are High Trail To Avalon Perfect Stranger The Secret By Your Side 5 Minutes Until Midnight Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Blues View Product Quick View Hayes McMullen Everyday Seem Like Murder Here Blues | Light In The Attic | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 17th February 2017 £31.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hayes McMullen Everyday Seem Like Murder Here £31.00 Genre: Blues Label: Light In The Attic SKU: LITA152LP Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 17th February 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Eric Bibb Rainbow People (33rpm) Blues | Opus 3 | 180g, 1LP Released 29th April 2009 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Eric Bibb Rainbow People (33rpm) £17.00 Genre: Blues Label: Opus 3 SKU: OPUS3LP7723 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 29th April 2009 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Paul Butterfield Blues Band Keep On Moving Blues | Rhino | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 19th July 2019 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Paul Butterfield Blues Band Keep On Moving £30.00 Genre: Blues Label: Rhino SKU: 0603497852093 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 19th July 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View John Mayall Nobody Told Me Blues | Forty Below Records | 1LP Released 23rd April 2024 £20.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations John Mayall Nobody Told Me £20.00 Genre: Blues Label: Forty Below Records SKU: nn285482 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View John Lee Hooker Boom Boom at His Best Blues | Vinyl Passion | 2LP Released 27th March 2014 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Lee Hooker Boom Boom at His Best £21.00 Genre: Blues Label: Vinyl Passion SKU: VP80709 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 27th March 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Otis Spann Otis Spann Is The Blues Blues | Candid Records | 180g, 1LP Released 24th June 2022 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Otis Spann Otis Spann Is The Blues £24.00 Genre: Blues Label: Candid Records SKU: CLP30011 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 24th June 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Butterfield Blues Band Live at Woodstock Blues | Run Out Groove | 2LP Released 14th August 2020 £45.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Butterfield Blues Band Live at Woodstock £45.00 Genre: Blues Label: Run Out Groove SKU: 0081227907938 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 14th August 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Buddy Guy Heavy Love Blues | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 29th September 2023 £42.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Buddy Guy Heavy Love £42.00 Genre: Blues Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP2576C Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 29th September 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Samantha Fish Black Wind Howlin’ Blues | Ruf Records | 1LP Released 25th March 2022 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Samantha Fish Black Wind Howlin’ £26.00 Genre: Blues Label: Ruf Records SKU: RUF2073 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th March 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Stevie Ray Vaughan The Sky Is Crying Blues | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 16th October 2015 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Stevie Ray Vaughan The Sky Is Crying £19.00 Genre: Blues Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1076 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 16th October 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Blues Start again
