River Whyless is the soundtrack of a babbling Appalachian stream as it curiously winds its way down the mountainside.
With three singer-songwriters — O’Keefe, Halli Anderson and Daniel Shearin — River Whyless is a “very democratic band,” O’Keefe explains. Shearin's house in Swannanoa also served as the space and studio for the latest round of recording.
“We all have our own style of writing, though with this record, we really tried to do as much of it as we could together,” he says. “Generally speaking, it’s a pretty open conversation. We try to leave it as open as possible throughout the writing process to allow anyone to bring in ideas. I think we do a fairly good job at that.”
Add in the percussion work of Alex McWalters, and The ebb and flow of the musical styles allow listeners to pick up on a variety of sounds. Whatever they may be, O’Keefe explains,“I think there are a lot of layers, and I think that has to do with the fact that we were recording it on our own without having this very strict beginning and end to the recording session, so we were able to fill in gaps where we thought they needed to be filled in,” he says of the record.
