Dry the River have announced details of the release of a new single. 'No Rest' will be released through RCA on Monday July 4th 2011.
The single, to be released digitally, was produced by Peter Katis (The National/Interpol) at his Connecticut home-studio and is taken from their debut album sessions – the album is due for release later this year.
'No Rest' follows the release of their debut single, 'New Ceremony', which came out as a limited 7” through Transgressive earlier this year and sold-out on pre-order.
Following rapturously received shows at this year’s SxSW Festival (The NME hailed them as one of the highlights of the week,), sold-out London gigs over the last few months at the Lexington, Barfly, The Nest and Luminaire and a sell-out at their forthcoming Bush Hall show, the band make a significant jump in announcing a headline show at London’s Scala and a run of regional dates in September.

Dry The River formed in spring 2009. Based in a shared two-bedroom house in Stratford, east London the five came together via circuitous geographical and musical routes. From singer-songwriter Peter Liddle, born in Norway and drawing narrative inspiration from university studies in medicine and anthropology, to once homeless drummer Jon Warren, with his background playing in DIY punk bands, via classically trained violinist Will Harvey, the band are a diverse bunch.
Musically the back-history is no less intriguing, with the band citing an esoteric list of influences - Leonard Cohen, At The Drive-In, Neil Young, Arlo Guthrie, Neutral Milk Hotel, Bruce Springsteen and Devendra Banhart.
The last few months have seen the band play their first shows in the U.S., prompt an impressive response to their much-watched Black Cab and watchlistentell sessions and pick up support from Radio 1, 6Music, NME, XFM, The Fly and The Sunday Times.
