MOONRIIVR RETURNS WITH NEW SINGLE “YOU GET ME BY”
VICTORY POOL RECORDS
MOONRIIVR creates a sound that is both familiar and cosmic. Drawing on their connection to the past in the search for a new vibration. Today, the duo of Gavin Gardner and James Robertson, return with their first new music since the release of the 2023 debut album, Volume 1. Released via Victory Pool Records, for “You Get Me By” they were joined by the percussive genius of Lyle Molzan, Mike Ardagh, and Julian Psihogios as well as Jenni Roberts and Ben Whiteley on bass. The accomplished rhythm sections set the stage for Gardiner’s deft lyricism and haunting baritone while Robertson’s masterful guitar playing expands the mind with its trance-like searching. There’s a sense of restraint that congers the raw feelings of Richie Valens and Nancy Sinatra echoing off the hallowed walls of Capitol Studio B, while continuing to propel it into a new and bold era.
“You Get Me By” is “an attempt to hold up a mirror and offer the same empathy to myself that I would offer a friend navigating the challenges of self and identity,” says Gardner. “My mind creates boundaries for who I think others expect me to be, when hopefully they just want me to be free.”
