Love It!

I'm totally obsessed with this album. It reminds me of Doves, who I love. Save Yourself is fun to sing along to and the horns and strings sound beautiful thoughout. Every listen gets better. Spot On!

“Save Yourself” from drowning in a sea of mediocre modern rock—float in Riviera’s direction! 

Emotion flows throughout this EP lyrically and instrumentally in an earnest, meaningful and harmonious way.  “Hollywood” has an atmospheric quality that could quite possibly be described as the equivalent of a melodic opiate. The song has a languid, hypnotic rhythm that swings like a pendulum, drawing the listener nearer and nearer, cathartic and mesmerizing. With a slightly ominous and brooding sound, the lyrics to “Not Me” slip the listener into a contemplative state, hinting at the impermanence of life...a subtle call to action for all to consider what we choose to carry on. I hope to hear more from Riviera!

Beautiful Music

Digging the sound. Rich and smooth. Love the guitars on Hollywood. A very melodic EP. I agree with the Doves comparison. What a compliment!! Worth buying the whole album for sure.
