Writing an album about a landscape in northern England doesn’t sound like a very interesting nor topical subject but when you listen and discover that this album written by a founding member of Zoviet France in Robin Storey is based around Britain’s wastelands that house their Cold War intercontinental ballistic missile sites, efforts for launching a Briton into space, and other top secret research facilities your ears percolate with the mysterious and doom. Rapoon’s “Dark Rivers” is riddled with murky cold watery synthetic dankness, gloomy superstitious and ominous tones that are as wild, uncontrollable, and remote as the region itself. Thumbs up big time.
