Richard Reed Parry with Arcade Fire live in London (Alberto Pezzali / Live4ever)
Richard Reed Parry has confirmed the second installment of his Quiet River Of Dust series will be released on June 21st.
“What separates us from dissolving into the experience around us?” Parry ponders upon the announcement of the follow-up to Volume 1 which came out last September.
“It’s a feeling I’ve definitely had many times, where the boundaries of self and world are permeable to the point of disorientation. So much of this record is about being this young person in an older people’s world of music and song, this folk music community where the torch is passed, and losing my father at a young age, and being completely disoriented by that.”
“This record, the songs are also referencing that nebulous psychic territory when you lose your most familiar world, when the village of your childhood disappears and you try to relocate yourself in a different one.”
The Arcade Fire multi-instrumentalist will play a show in Hamburg, Germany on May 29th.
