Wistful and serene, Sydney’s Derwent River Star conjure up many a beautiful sound on their latest EP, The Winter Dark. Much like the state brethren The Seabellies, Derwent River Star are one of those bands were every member is way too talented, playing a multitude of instruments. The lush textures of their music create a wonderfully atmospheric brand of folk-rock, and it’s great to hear the underused banjo rear its twangy head in their tune ‘Wanderlust’. But I think we’ll use their number ‘Bottles and Boats’ as an introductory song.
