Rivers is the third full-length album by Swedish husband and wife duo Wildbirds & Peacedrums, released on The Leaf Label on 23 August 2010.
Wildbirds & Peacdrums members Mariam Wallentin and Andreas Werliin travelled to Reykjavík in Iceland where they recorded the entire album in a single week, working with Australian producer Ben Frost.
The Retina half of the album was recorded in the Guðríðarkirkja church and featured the Schola Cantorum Reykjavík Chamber Choir, arranged by cellist and composer Hildur Guðnadóttir.
At times disquieting and complex, at others sweet and simple, the songs have a timeless quality and, in Wallentin, the band has one of the most distinctive singers around.
[5] AllMusic noted that Rivers traded the "fiery outbursts of Heartcore and The Snake for a deeper dive into Wildbirds & Peacedrums’ wintry, introspective side" and praised the album for featuring "some of the duo’s most ambitious and fullest-sounding music".
