Rivergazer is the recording project of songwriter Kevin Farrant. Random Nostalgia is his first full-length album, having previously released demos and an EP (Oh My Ego) and played in numerous other bands, including with childhood friend Aaron Maines in Porches.
This is an indie rock record at heart, and a step away from the uber-lo-fi recordings of Farrant’s previous releases. It’s catchy and sunny and pretty easygoing, but also deals with some darker thematic material. As the press release put it, “the album tells the 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.”
