Wild Rivers seek catharsis in delicate, often heartbreaking folk-pop. Co-lead vocalists Khalid Yassein and Devan Glover serve as the Canadian bandâs anchor, their airy vocals seamlessly melding together over Andrew Oliverâs nimble bass and guitar. For their 2016 self-titled debut album, the group weave those smooth harmonies through warm, twang-touched melodies that echo with the cozy, zen-like feel of â70s Laurel Canyon rock spun with Southern charm. Their candid tales of lost love have grown more expansiveâand especially urgentâwith each release, including their 2020 EP Songs to Break Up To, a low-key, synth-touched collection that documents Yasseinâs heartache. That theme has since persisted, with singles like âLove Gone Wrong,â a cinematic tearjerker that slowly, softly soars. Itâs a song that sums up Wild Riversâ MO: to transform gut-wrenching experiences into soul-stirring anthems.
