The single displays the distinctive Rivulets blend of more conventional folk/singer-songwriter sounds with the slowcore of bands like Low. It really is very beautiful, I for one can’t wait for the album.

You can buy The Fire for just $1 right now over at Bandcamp.

]]> Colorado based songwriter Nathan Amundson, better known as Rivulets, is in the process of recording a new album. To finance this new record, Nathan is asking for a little help. Rather than set up a Kickstarter campaign or something similar, he is asking that you buy the previous releases on Bandcamp. This way, not only do you actually get something for your money immediately, but also all of the money goes straight to the artist rather than filtering through like on iTunes and those sites.

If you are unfamiliar with Rivulets then I strongly urge you to get acquainted. Dark, sparse folk music that has something to say and isn’t adverse to getting loud when required. I’ve embedded a few of my favourite tracks throughout the post for you to sample.

Also, if you send $20 via PayPal to orders@rivulets.net, Nathan will record a personal solo song at home and send it directly to you. This can either be a new song that he will write just for you or solo version of your favorite Rivulets song. Just leave a message in the Paypal comments box outlining your wishes.

The method of paying on Bandcamp means you can give more that the RRP so if you find yourself with some extra coins then I’m sure it would be appreciated if you could give a little more. Remember, it’s paying for a new album. Rivulets is one of those criminally underrated acts that deserve far greater recognition. Why not use this opportunity to explore the back catalogue while funding a brand new album?
