Riverbed Mausoleum - Riverbed Mausoleum

Review by Evelyn Baldwin

Riverbed Mausoleum's self-titled debut album is a haunting and atmospheric journey through the depths of experimental music. The duo, consisting of multi-instrumentalist Michael C. Sharp and vocalist Maria Zerfall, creates a sonic landscape that is both eerie and beautiful.

The album opens with "A New Beginning," a slow and ominous track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Zerfall's ethereal vocals float over Sharp's intricate guitar work and subtle electronic beats. "Drown" is a standout track, with its driving rhythm and haunting melodies. "The River" is another standout, with its haunting piano and vocal harmonies.

Throughout the album, Riverbed Mausoleum creates a sense of unease and tension that is both captivating and unsettling. The production is top-notch, with every sound and instrument carefully placed to create a cohesive whole.
