Cara Rivers lets the darkness flow with latest release "RiversInTheSky"

Cara Rivers’ latest release, “RiversInTheSky” has an underground aesthetic, mixing a psychedelic atmosphere with deliberately disturbing and emotionally raw lyrics. The writing creates images of rain, loneliness, fatigue and unhealthy love in a world where being open is almost a dangerous thing. Lines like “A deathly love held like a grenade, left a crater where it blew” lend the song a powerful sense of emotional damage and the repetition of “So tired, Slowly Dying” enhances its weary mood. Rivers doesn’t soften the darker edges here, but lets them define the character of “RiversInTheSky.”
