North Carolina’s River Whyless forthcoming self-titled, five track EP is their first release since their 2012 debut album.

Maple Sap is as sweet a sounding song as you could hope to hear, with obvious reference points to traditional British folk, there are also nods to more contemporary bands – a beguiling mix of Sandy Denny, Fairport Convention and the Decemberists perhaps?

See what you think…
