What people are saying about "At the End of the American Century..." by Riviera:

"While labels such alt-country or Americana certainly fit Riviera's sound, At The End of the American Century also borrows from 70's classic FM rock and the most accessible of contemporary indie rock, covering multiple aesthetic touch points without the self-conscious dress code of hipster hang-ups..." -- Blue Mag

"Riviera's sound runs the gamut of confessional country, wonderfully harmonised pop and '70s southern rock. A good (if slightly lazy) reference point is Wilco's Being There (1996), while at other moments they sound like My Morning Jacket without the cathedral-like reverb. This synthesis sounds remarkably fresh and coherent, which makes for an extremely enjoyable listen, especially since they are confident enough to let the innate energy of the songs carry them along; you get a sense that they're having a great time playing these songs." -- Off City Limits

"Riviera has a diverse musical palette, boasting three strong singer/songwriters backed by bass and drums. Derek Phillips, Mick Radichel and Josh Boisvert contribute to a cohesive sound with its share of a rich variety of colors. Their collective wit is literate and wry, backed by rock swagger and a willingness to let a tinge of rock noise creep in occasionally (as on the leadoff track, "Petrified Possessions"). Harmonica fuels the straight-up Americana pleaser "Your American Past," bleeding into the 70s-era, southern-tinged ballads "Stranded" and "Changing Channels." Their recent appearances opening for Jeff Tweedy are well deserved, as a bit of Van Morrison and Wilco sweep across Riviera's breezy, yet gritty soundscapes." -- Miles of Music[url][/url]

Consider it bought.

cool, just found it on soulseek!






















hehe, j/k.

gonna check it out on gloriousnoise.com and maybe grab a copy.

Man you people suck. 96 views and only two people cared to comment.

STREET TEAMER!



There, is that better?

that's because i read it 85 times.

ha haha

Only when you've been around these parts like I have you do earn certain liberties after a while.


No but I really do think this would be worth everyone's while to get a copy. Then I'll love you all forever.

What do you want, you plagiarized your street team. How weak is that? 8D

I am going to buy this.
Yes I am.
Is it available at retail outlets in the suburbs?
I hate buying online and rarely get into the city.

Todd,
It's not likely already in stores you're going to but any store in the US, Canada or Europe can order it through our distributor, CTD (Carrot Top Distribution).

And get hip, man. It's a new millenium. Buy online (when you can't find it in your local, independent music shop).

Is this the same Carrot Top that is at 935 W. Chestnut Street? IE my office building?

Yes it is! I was there last week. Huh...

i've been holding this in since yesterday and i just...can't...anymore...

...work it, yoko.

On the Miles of Music site the album was their number 8 seller for the week, tying with John Doe's album.

If ya wanna help it stay in that top ten and see it move up a bit. See my original post.

Ohhh and XRT played one of their songs a couple times last week and this past sunday Chicago Public Radio played another one of their songs.

I received my copy today!

I'll be able to give it a listen later tonight.

Miles of Music also has Belleville for sale too. Highly recommended.

okay i think i wanna check this out...but then im a sucker for anything labled 'americana'

Yeah, check it out.

done.....and done....will order it post haste

Yay!

I'm listening to it for a second time right now.

Got a report back from a couple of our distributors and sales are doing very well. Thanks for checking it out guys.

Thanks blokes. Just reading this for the first time. This here Bellevillian appreciates it.

Derek,
