BLUE RIVER – SINGLE REVIEW


Blue River – Lucy (CPR Records) 
Blue River - Lucy

Release Date: 28th June 2019

Cornish indie lads Blue River with a new single just in time for the summer which a more cynical person would call tactical but we all know the Cornish come in to their own when the sun comes out. ‘Lucy’ is a song dripping in Britpop attitude and with more than a nod to the brothers Gallagher but I should warn any misophonia sufferers out there (myself included) that there is a fairly intense drinking sound at the start of this track. Anyway, musically this is light, breezy, full of potential adventures and nights out with scratchy indie guitars, a sing-a-long chorus of “Lucy get on the train” and the odd Beach Boys ‘woo-hoo’. The only question is why these lads haven’t been added to the bill for the Liam Gallagher show at the Eden Project this summer – they would get that crowd dancing no trouble.


Live Dates:

22nd June – Fives, Falmouth
29th June – Single Launch @ The Junction, Plymouth
