I ripped this off of a post that Derek had up at GloNo-so replace Today with Yesterday.

Album is for sale folks.


NEW RIVIERA ALBUM Came out Today
Today is the day that Riviera's new album comes out on Glorious Noise Records! We've been waiting a long time for this and now "At the End of the American Century..." is finally available. If you could help us spread the word, we would really appreciate it. It's available online via MilesOfMusic.com, CDBaby.com, and Amazon.com (and pretty soon, Insound.com but it's not listed yet). People should be able to pick it up (or at least order it) from their local, independent record stores via our arrangement with Carrot Top Distribution.

We're still Streaming the entire album at gloriousnoise.com, and we've got a bunch of free mp3s available to download.

BUY IT NOW

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]

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).

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.
