Sevier is the final single from Into the Blue and is out now. It is a long turbulent river that was near to us during the writing of this record. Some info for you:
The Sevier River (pronounced "severe") is a 385-mile (620 km)-long[2] river in the Great Basin of southwestern Utah in the United States. Originating west of Bryce Canyon National Park, the river flows north through a chain of high farming valleys and steep canyons along the west side of the Sevier Plateau, before turning southwest and terminating in the endorheic basin of Sevier Lake in the Sevier Desert. It is used extensively for irrigation along its course, with the consequence that Sevier Lake is usually dry.
The Sevier River drainage basin of 11,574 square miles (29,980 km2)[3] covers more than 13 percent of Utah and includes parts of ten counties, of which the river flows through seven.[1] The name of the river is derived from the Spanish Río Severo, "violent river".[5][6]:335 The Sevier is the longest river entirely within the state of Utah.

The track evokes the powerful force of that river and, as someone pointed out the other day, between the submerging in water of Into the Blue, Back to Nothing and Sevier Ritzy did get battered into a crinkle cut crisp for the videos to this album ha ha! Big up Bryan ;) x
Enjoy/Mwynhewch

Sevier
Move in time together
across the ways
now I’m ready to wander
that way
Those feelings on the side
that you don’t want tamed
feel someone looking through you
Believe this medicine
gives more and more
I’m not ready to go back to how it was
Believe it slowly that this could be
a different way you’re showing me
Coming to find that
seven tipped star
coming to lose time, not hold on
Those nights by the river that never go dark
whatever way we go I never feel lost
Maybe we’ll change
Twist out of shape
that shapes it all
Right now you’re the first thought that comes to me
a different way of talking
Been waiting for this
waking as the shoe falls
running as it freezes more
be there in the open
chasing the sevier.
