Des Moines Is Not Boring reviews The River Monks’ album “Home Is The House”

Posted on by Rebekah Tweed

Fantastic review of The River Monks’ album Home Is The House by David Murphy for Des Moines Is Not Boring:

The River Monks are a folk band, ostensibly, but their work transcends any sort of traditional Americana. Banjo, fiddle and acoustic instruments are used often, but the production, the vocals and the harmonies are so grandiose that it pours the simple intricacies into a stunning twelve tracks that I was enraptured by…This is severe thunderstorm music: electric, cleansing, and a feel that overwhelms the senses and reminds you that there are forces at work bigger than all of us.
