Our Take

Phoria's latest offering, River Oblivion, is a sonic journey like no other. This album takes you on a wild and unpredictable ride through wave after wave of enchanting melodies and hypnotic rhythms. The band's unique blend of electronica and indie rock creates a sound that is both ethereal and gritty, soothing and electrifying.

From the haunting opening track, "Tidal Mind", to the pulsating beats of "Ebb and Flow", Phoria showcases their versatility and creativity in each and every song. The dreamy vocals of Trewin Howard float effortlessly over the lush layers of synths and guitar, creating a sense of otherworldly beauty that is impossible to resist.

One standout track is "Lost in the Sea", a stunning ballad that builds to a breathtaking crescendo of emotion and intensity. The combination of Howard's heartfelt lyrics and the band's atmospheric soundscapes make for a truly unforgettable listening experience.

However, not every track hits the mark on River Oblivion. Some songs feel a bit too derivative and lack the originality that Phoria is capable of delivering. Despite this, the overall journey that this album takes you on is worth the occasional misstep.

In conclusion, River Oblivion is a bold and ambitious effort from Phoria that showcases their undeniable talent and creativity. While not every track is a home run, the album as a whole is a captivating and immersive experience that is sure to leave a lasting impression on listeners. Get ready to dive headfirst into the sonic depths of Phoria's River Oblivion.

About the artist

Phoria

One might think that a band with a name like PHORIA would be all about psychedelic rock or trippy synth-pop, but this Brighton-based quintet proves that sometimes the most ethereal music comes from the most unexpected places. With their dreamy melodies, haunting vocals, and intricate electronic production, PHORIA creates a sound that is as unique as it is captivating. Led by frontman Trewin Howard, whose mesmerizing voice has been described as a mix of Thom Yorke and Jeff Buckley, PHORIA have been making waves in the indie music scene since their formation in 2010. Their debut EP, "Yourself Still", released in 2013, garnered critical acclaim for its innovative blend of ambient sounds and emotional lyrics. Since then, PHORIA has continued to push boundaries with their music, incorporating elements of post-rock, shoegaze, and even classical music into their sound. Their latest album, "Volition", released in 2016, showcases the band's evolution as musicians and songwriters, with tracks like "Sundscope" and "Emanate" proving that PHORIA is a force to be reckoned with in the world of experimental music. Whether you're a fan of Radiohead, Sigur Rós, or just good music in general, PHORIA is a band that deserves a spot on your playlist. So sit back, relax, and let the otherworldly sounds of PHORIA take you on a journey through the depths of your imagination. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
