****************************************************************************************

Following last years reworking of Ohbijou’s Last Christmas cover as NNGM, Jon Neher (Saskatchewan) and Ro Cemm (UK) join forces once again, this time for an original work inspired by the lyrics to Joni Mitchell’s River. Deliberately communicating only by email the pair fired ideas backwards and forwards until an idea slowly started to come together. Having heard one too many insipid covers of Joni's winter classic, they decided to cover the ideas in the song, rather than covering the song itself. Taking the idea of having a river to skate away on literally, the track builds around the sounds of someone ice-skating on the river, while a music box throws back to the original's Jingle Bells refrain.

In a difficult year when a lot of us have spent more time than ever stuck indoors, the idea of the freedom and gracefulness of being able to skate away on a frozen river under the open skies is definately one that appeals.

Earlier this year the pair (as NNGM) reworked Metz’s Lost In The Blank City, turning the abrasive wall of noise barn-burner into a ten minute plus exploration of finding nature amongst the chaos of the modern city as part of the Isolate Create series.
