Worry Dolls - The River
LCM Song Of The Day: ‘The River’ - Worry Dolls
‘The River’ is the brand new Country Rock single from London based Worry Dolls. The video features Zoe and Rosie having a lot of fun with smoke bombs and it was produced by Ekaterina Staneva. The song also features CJ Hillman on electric guitar, Pete Thomas on bass and Tim Prottey-Jones on drums. The track was produced by Aidan Laverty, one-half of Hoxton-based production duo Huntsmen (Foals, Scott Matthews) and offers a change sonically, led by electric guitars, re-amplified banjo, and a driving beat, as well as those signature Worry Doll harmonies.
Zoe and Rosie will be on their UK and European tour shortly with their London date and EP launch at The Lexington on November 8th, with guests include Robbie Cavanagh.
For Rosie and Zoe, there seems to be an almost irresistible pull to the river; a ‘safe space’ which signifies a sense of both home, and life on the road. ‘The River’ is also the title of their upcoming single and much-anticipated EP. Having met as music students near the River Mersey in Liverpool, before graduating and moving to London’s Greenwich. They found a spiritual home in Nashville, where they lived, wrote & recorded their 2017 debut ‘Go Get Gone’ with Grammy-nominated producer Neilson Hubbard. Rosie & Zoe reflect on seeking solace by the waterside, from the Tennessee Cumberland River, right back to their earliest childhood memories. A River seems to be an apt symbol – it is solid and permanent in many ways, but the water is constantly in flux, constantly evolving. The enduring location of a river reflects the solidity of their musical unity, but the motion of the water reflects recent changes in both of their respective personal lives.
The songs on The River EP deal with grittier and more urgent themes. From dealing with the loss of loved ones; coming to terms with sexuality and mental health struggles, to the many ways a heart can break and be rebuilt. Life’s permanence is constantly in motion. Whatever it throws at you, you know the river is always in motion, but it’s still permanent. Like home.
