Album Description
Available in:
"Feral Roots" is the sixth full length studio album by the American rock band Rival Sons. The album was officially released on 25 January 2019 on the Atlantic label.
User Album Review
Opener Do You Worst gets down to business instantly with a juddering ‘na-nana-na-na-nah!’ juggernaut of a riff. Straight in, no kissing – you can practically hear Greta Van Fleet gulp nervously. Tracks like Back In The Woods put the ‘feral’ in Feral Roots, with Buchanan’s raw soul-blues cry hitting possessed-preacher highs and drummer Michael Miley on thunderous form.
But it’s the brooding mix of urgent and mysterious tones that really pulls you in, and gives the whole album an almost cinematic quality. The Zeppelin-esque title track is a stunning embodiment of this, its acoustic lines of folky mystique trickling out before bursting into a commanding, full-on rock chorus. Tracks that seem to be one thing have a way of surprising you (see the gorgeous chorus gear shift of Imperial Joy). Gospel backing singers appear across the record, and the soulful sway of Stood By Me merges old-school blues-andsoul warmth with Isley Brothers-infused guitar blasts.
Feral Roots isn’t Rival Sons’ most instant album yet; this isn’t a record of tracks like Keep On Swinging and Open My Eyes. It’s partly that, but it’s also an album of depth and impact that merits luxuriant poring over. And perhaps most significantly, it’s the sound of 2019’s answer to Page and Plant throwing down the gauntlet, daring the competition to make their move.
